‘Dangerous’ man attacked two people over missing drugs

The 23-year-old threatened the man and woman with a knife

A 23-year-old launched an unprovoked attack on a woman and a man over missing drugs. Somtochukwu Igboayaka was at a friend’s home in Cambridge on Boxing Day when he became angry about some missing cannabis.

Igboayaka thought a woman had stolen it, so he punched her multiple times in the face and tried the shove her head down a toilet. He then grabbed a knife from the kitchen and tried to stab her.

The victim suffered multiple wounds to her hands where she tried to defend herself. A man who was also at the house tried to stop the attack. Igboayaka threatened the man with a knife and then hit him over the head with a glass vodka bottle. Both victims were taken to hospital.

At Cambridge Crown Court on June 24, Igboayaka, of Stanmore Road, Duckett’s Green, London, was jailed for two years and nine months after admitting wounding without intent, and possession of cannabis.

DC Matthew Grace, who investigated, said: “This was a vicious and senseless attack and Igboayaka is clearly a very dangerous individual. The level of violence was extreme, and this is a prime example of the violence and devastation that drugs can have on our society so I am pleased he’s now behind bars for his crimes.”
