The story of Andrew Lee Fenn and the UK's broken criminal justice system

Inspector Gadget has the story of Andrew Lee Fenn, his arrest for burglary, his subsequent sentencing to 11 months in jail and his stabbing of 22-year-old Jonathan Scarah in a “random and motiveless” attack after he discovered he was from a different part of the city to himself.

Meanwhile This is Hull and East Riding report that:

'THE senseless stabbing of a Hull teenager could have been prevented if police had acted on crucial intelligence, it has been claimed.

Andrew Lee Fenn, 20, stabbed 22-year-old Jonathan Scarah in the stomach "in a random and motiveless" attack, after he discovered he was from a different part of Hull to himself.

Mr Scarah required major surgery to repair his intestine and was deeply traumatised by the attack.

Now, it has emerged Fenn threatened to stab another teenager, Daniel Osbourne, five days earlier, but police did not apprehend him.

Daniel, 17, of Anlaby, said he cannot understand why it took officers three days to take his statement.

The Hull College student said: "I told police if they didn't get him, he would stab someone. That was in my statement.

"You do not go around with a six-inch kitchen knife without intending to stab someone."'

I despair...
