Knifeman is sent to jail
JOBLESS and penniless, a hooded man armed himself with a kitchen knife and left his lodgings at night intent on robbery – and within minutes he had found his victim.
He targeted Southampton University student Chinnu Abrahams who had just left the campus. Walking alone with her iPhone, she became aware of a man acting suspiciously. He told her: “Hand me your phone or I’ll stab you.”
As he made his threat, she saw the knife with an eight inch blade pressed against her stomach.
A few days later, her attacker Lithuanian immigrant Dmitrij Dmitrijev sold the phone at a firm of pawnbrokers for £15.
Judge Gary Burrell QC heard Dmitrejev was caught after taking a stolen computer hard drive belonging to Connie Leung.
A police officer, who had been carrying out house to house enquiries about the computer hard drive theft, then recognised Dmitrijev as being a neighbour of the student.
Dmitrijev, 20, of Langhorn Road, Southampton , admitted robbery and handling and was jailed for four years.

Darn. Based on the headline, I was expecting a story about a Superhero, with incredible knife dexterity and skills, being wrongly convicted by those pen pushers down at City Hall, and being sent to Prison where he'd use his skills to cleverly break out and befriend an old person and fight crime once again. Wooo! Instead, the story is about a complete loser. Shame.
