A 20-yr-old thug who stabbed a young girl 22 times in her home before her mother defended him has been found guilty of attempted murder.
Simeon Shaba broke into the home in Dartford, Kent, unbolting a bolt before entering the 17-year-old’s bedroom with a kitchen knife and pouncing on her, Maidstone Crown has heard.
According to the Metro, the victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, told jurors, “He picked up a towel and put it over my mouth. I said: “What are you doing?”
‘As I got up he took out a knife and started stabbing me. I remember he stabbed me so many times as my mum was pushing him out.
‘I dropped to the ground. I was bleeding. I literally thought I was going to die.’
She said Shaba deliberately tried to drive the knife through her heart when she collapsed.
The girl’s mother, whose name must also be kept secret to protect her daughter’s identity, was injured while fighting the attacker and forcing him out of the house.
The thug is due to be sentenced for the attempted murder charge in August.
