Man Jailed For Stabbing Six-Year-Old

A 29-year-old man has been jailed for four years after he admitted stabbing a six-year-old girl and her mother.

Robert Knox, a former health care worker, stabbed the girl in the chest and her mother in the hand at the house in the Bellfields area of Guildford.

The mother and daughter involved in the incident, on 9 June, cannot be named.

At a hearing in December at Guildford Crown Court, Knox pleaded guilty to two charges of maliciously causing grievous bodily harm.

He was jailed on Friday for four years on each charge, to run concurrently.
