Knifeman locked up for 15 years after savagely stabbing teen through heart

A knifeman has been locked up for 15 years for stabbing a teenager so savagely, he suffered three cardiac arrests and almost died.

Christopher Keenan, 20, stabbed the 18-year-old youth on a public footpath near a Morrisons supermarket in August.

Keenan, from Wrexham, also pleaded guilty to robbing a boy of 15 of a phone, reports North Wales Live.

At Mold Crown Court, Judge David Hale said the older teenager's life was only saved due to the "fantastic skills" medics at Wrexham Maelor's A&E.

Judge Hale said he stabbed an 18-year-old so brutally he almost died.

Keenan would serve 10 years behind bars and be on licence for eight years, the judge added.
