Steven Shaw strapped butcher's knives to his hands and attacked three people after hiding under bed during a House Party

A crazed attacker who strapped butcher's knives to his hands and tried to kill three partygoers after lying in wait under a bed has been jailed indefinitely.

Steven Shaw pounced while Robyn Little and Dale Walker were sleeping on the bed above him during a house party.

Mr Walker was knifed in the neck and side when Shaw came at him with arms flailing like 'someone doing a front crawl in swimming'.

Miss Little was stabbed in the shoulder as she tried to help her boyfriend.

As Shaw left the room, he came across party host Victoria Harrison, who had come to investigate the commotion.

She was stabbed in the chest and suffered a heart attack and a collapsed lung as a result.

She narrowly won her fight for life after major surgery.

All three victims were treated at hospital after the summer celebration at the house on the Beacon Lough Estate in Gateshead last July. Read More
