Jake Hill, 25, stabbed five people in a matter of seconds outside the Eclipse nightclub in Bodmin, Cornwall, with a serrated hunting knife after joining a fight between 15 revellers.
A nightclub reveller who went on a 'knife rampage', murdering one man and injuring four others, has been sentenced to a minimum of 28 years in prison. Jake Hill, 25, stabbed five people in a matter of seconds outside the Eclipse nightclub in Bodmin, Cornwall, with a serrated hunting knife. He had joined a fight between 15 revellers outside the club shortly after 3am on 30 April last year, Truro Crown Court was told.
He was found not guilty of one count of wounding with intent relating to a sixth person. Mrs Justice Cutts told Hill the death of Mr Riddiough-Allen and the injuries caused to four others were due to Hill's decision to carry a knife that night. She paid tribute to Mr Riddiough-Allen, who had intervened to prevent Hill from injuring others, as a 'man of exceptional qualities'.
