Alcohol-Fueled Rage: Meat Cleaver Attack

0:00It's April 20th. From your city to your ears, this is Lester News today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. Parvinder Singh, a 35-year-old from Lester, is locked up again after a brutal attack in a busy bedding shop. He swung a meat cleaver at a man's head from behind. Slicing open the victim's skull so bad, he needed five stitches plus treatment for hand cuts. A jury convicted him of attempted murder, and he pled guilty to carrying the weapon back in May last year. The judge at Lester Crown Court on April 20th called it a miracle, the injuries weren't worse, especially in a crowded patty-power spot on, Melton Road. Singh had been drinking heavy that day, arming himself before walking in and striking without warning. This ain't his first rodeo back. In January 6th, 2019, Singh torched part of the Belgrade Commercial Center, forcing a demolition, that landed him two years in 10 months in prison by 2020, showing a pattern of reckless fire starting and violence.

1:01His lawyer admitted booze is the root problem, but said, Singh still denies one and a kill anyone, even after the jury's call. He wants to head back to India after years here since age 17, but the judge saw clear danger in his history. Now Singh faces a 20-year sentence, serving at least two-thirds before parole review, followed by four years on tight license. Singh slips and he's right back inside, keeping the streets safer from his alcohol-fueled chaos.
