BATH MAN JAILED FOR BRUTALLY STABBING HIS EX-GIRLFRIEND 15 TIMES
Matthew Jones, aged 29, was convicted of a brutal attack on his ex-girlfriend Emma Kirk, 25, in Bath on February 26, 2024. During this incident, he inflicted 15 stab wounds to her neck, face, and head in a frenzied and merciless assault. The attack was so severe that both her lungs were punctured, and she sustained multiple wounds on her hands as she fought back to grab the knife. The court heard that Jones continued to try strangulation even after multiple men had intervened to disarm him, describing the violence as "rarely seen before in the experience of the court." Jones was acquitted of attempted murder but pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent. He was sentenced to 12 years in prison with an extended licence period of four years, with the judge describing him as "dangerous" and the attack as "ferocious and merciless." Emma Kirk spent a week in a coma and faced lasting trauma, PTSD, and depression, with her family describing the lasting impact of the assault on their sense of safety and their emotional well-being. In his police statement, Jones admitted to his violent actions, telling officers, "I am a monster. I don’t deserve respect." The court recognized the severity of his conduct as an extreme case and noted his unpredictability and danger to the public.
