Osarenkhoe Atutie

On 11 November 2025, Osarenkhoe Atutie, 26, committed the attempted murder of his estranged wife in Leith, Edinburgh. During the attack, which occurred in front of the couple's child, Atutie repeatedly stabbed the victim in the head and body. The assault ended when three members of the public intervened and detained the attacker until the arrival of Police Scotland.

Atutie pleaded guilty to the offence at the High Court in Glasgow. On 5 August 2026, Judge Lord Cubie sentenced him to an extended sentence comprising seven-and-a-half years in custody followed by 18 months of supervision on licence. The court noted the severity of the injuries sustained, which included a collapsed lung and permanent scarring, and acknowledged the significant danger the victim faced during the incident.
