Man jailed for 10 years for knife attack after mum hands him in to police

A man who took part in an attack that saw his friend repeatedly stabbed at a family barbecue has been jailed for a decade after being handed in to police by his mum.

Juma Munyankore took part in the “outrageous” attack which saw the victim stabbed several times with a double-edged, half-moon shaped dagger after being cornered in a Coventry garden.

The frenzied attack on September 11 last year happened in a communal garden behind The Moorfield, Stoke Aldermoor , and was witnessed by a six-year-old child.

The 26-year-old victim − who’d known his attackers for seven years − was airlifted to hospital with critical stab injuries to his chest and legs. One of the wounds punctured a lung, his diaphragm and liver.

Munyankore, from Middleborough Road, Radford , was handed over to Coventry Central police station by his mother on September 16 just hours after officers had raided his homes.

Meanwhile, Somalian national Hamza Mohumed, also known as KG, was arrested by police two days after the attack from his home in The Bentree, Stoke Aldermoor, where he was found in a bedroom hiding under a dressing gown.

Police say that he stabbed the victim several times.

Both Mohumed, 24, and 25-year-old Munyankore - also known as Scholar - were charged with attempted murder, but the court accepted their guilty pleas to a charge of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

And at Warwick Crown Court on Friday, Mohumed was jailed for nine years four months after entering an early guilty plea, while Rwandan national Munyankore was given a prison sentence of ten years and nine months after only admitting the offence on day four of his trial.

Det Con Helen Keating said: “The victim came across his attackers while walking to a family friend’s house for a barbecue. He went to greet them and shake their hand but was met with punches and was headbutted.

“He ran into the garden but was followed by a group of men, including Mohumed and Munyankore, who had armed themselves with weapons and told the group to ‘stay out of it’ as they cornered their target.

“The attack left the man bleeding heavily and doctors said he was lucky to survive.

“It’s not clear what sparked the row but it was a vicious, outrageous attack in the middle of the afternoon and carried out just yards away from a young child.

“I would like to thank all the witnesses who supported our investigation and particularly those whose evidence helped us secure convictions against these two dangerous men.”

I trust that on release Munyankore will be immediately deported?
