25-year-old Jake Hill was found guilty of murder and four counts of Section 18 wounding with intent after stabbing five people outside the Eclipse nightclub in Bodmin, Cornwall. The incident occurred during a disturbance between groups of people outside the closed nightclub, where victims were either stabbed or slashed by Hill, who had collected a serrated hunting knife from a nearby hedge. Michael Riddiough-Allen, 32, died from his abdomen wound. Hill's co-defendants, Chelsea Powell and Tia Taylor, were found guilty of perverting the course of justice. Riddiough-Allen's family has since started a campaign against knife crime, urging people to "leave it in the drawer."
