Nigerian jailed seven years for stabbing ex-wife in Scotland

A Nigerian man, Osarenkhoe Atutie, was sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in prison for attempting to murder his estranged wife in Edinburgh, Scotland. The attack occurred in November 2025 on Duke Street, Leith, where Atutie stabbed his wife, Victory Atutie, multiple times, leaving her with severe injuries including facial scarring and a collapsed lung. The court heard that the victim was pushed into a pram by her daughter, who recognized Atutie and called out to him. Three members of the public intervened, disarming Atutie and holding him until police arrived. The judge emphasized the severity of the attack and issued a lifetime non-harassment order to prevent further contact between the perpetrator and the victim. Atutie expressed regret for his actions and his defense highlighted his struggles with mental health, though this did not excuse his behavior.
