VICARAGE ROAD STABBINGS: ‘Overstayer’ admits Watford knife attack

 Published on: 2nd January 2020   |   By: Jake Levison   |   Category: Uncategorized

A Bangladeshi man who stayed on in the UK after his visa ran out today (Thursday, January 2) admitted a triple knife attack near Watford’s football ground.

Khaled Ahmed, 36, pleaded guilty to three charges of wounding with intent and one of possessing a knife when he appeared via a video link from Bedford prison.

He was arrested after the police were called to Vicarage Road at 3.17am on Wednesday, July 3 last year.

Three victims – a man in his 40s, a man in his 30s and a woman in her 30s – were taken to hospital.

Ahmed, of Grenadier Close, St Albans, was aided by a Bengali interpreter when he admitted the charges at St Albans Crown Court. He raised his hand each time he said: “Guilty.”

Prosecutor Martin Mulgrew said the police had asked if he had any convictions in Bangladesh, but had yet to receive a response. He had no convictions in the UK.

Mr Mulgrew said: “In terms of his immigration status he is an overstayer.”

Judge Michael Kay QC remanded him in custody for a probation officer to prepare a report. 

He said: “Inevitably there will be a lengthy custodial sentence.”
