Jacob Gill has been jailed for attempted murder
A man has been jailed for 34 years after attempting to murder man in his own home. The man pictured is Jacob Gill and he tried to kill man in his own home last Christmas.
He appeared back in the dock today where he was given a sentence totalling 34 years. After deeming Gill to be a dangerous offender, Judge Robert Altham, The Recorder of Preston, sentenced him to 29 years custody and a further five years on extended licence. Gill will have to serve two thirds of that sentence until he is eligible to go before the Parole Board.
Gill held onto the victim as he bled profusely, when the victim told Gill he was bleeding to death, Gill said: “That’s the plan.” Gill ran off when a neighbour intervened, having heard the victim’s shouts for help. The neighbour tried to stem the bleeding and made a makeshift tourniquet before our officers attended and gave the victim lifesaving first aid.
