Man jailed for five years for attacking victim with knife in Kingston
A man has been jailed for five years for a knife attack, despite the victim not supporting the police investigation.
21 year old Jeffery Kachila from Richmond was sentenced at Kingston Crown Court for attempted GBH with intent and 15 months’ imprisonment for possession of an offensive weapon.
He had been found guilty of both offences on same day following a trial at the same court.
Kachila carried out the attack in a shop in Teddington in January.
At around 5.40pm the male victim walked into the shop, followed a short time later by Kachila.
Kachila walked up behind the victim, produced a knife and stabbed him three times in the back before walking out.
The victim also left the shop but was later traced by police and taken to hospital for treatment for his injuries before being discharged.
Officers spoke to the victim but he made it clear he did not wish to support the investigation.
However, CCTV footage from the shop showed the incident and officers were able to identify Kachila as the assailant.
He was arrested the following day and a serrated knife, similar to the one used in the attack, was found concealed under his mattress.
Despite staying silent during his interview, the weight of evidence meant Kachila was charged.

Heathrow given the go ahead for expansion on World Environment Day
On world environment day, the go ahead has been given by the government for a third runway at Heathrow.
Labour insists it will only back the plans if it helps boost growth across the country.
Shadow transport secretary Andy McDonald is also demanding assurances on noise and air quality; he's issued this warning.
Responding to the publication of the Airports National Policy Statement, Rob Barnstone, Coordinator of the No 3rd Runway Coalition, said:
"By making this decision, the Government have failed people and our environment. They have failed people by subjecting over 2.2million Londoners to new aircraft noise with Heathrow expansion, failed workers by supporting a short term, low quality job creation scheme with no real long-lasting benefits and failed taxpayers by agreeing a bailout plan with Heathrow should it fail later.”
“They have failed the environment by supporting a scheme that will not only fail to meet UK air quality targets but also put at risk our climate change obligations.
“The very fact the Government chose World Environment Day to announce this scheme really sums up their true attitude to the environment.
“Now let’s hope Parliament votes against this disastrous project.”

It also says Gatwick and Stanstead must be encouraged to match Heathrow in terms of size and usage.
