A man has been given a 16-year prison sentence for attacking a woman at his address in Ferring, causing her serious knife injuries. Kenneth Noble, 69, retired, of Beehive Lane, Ferring, was sentenced at Lewes Crown Court on June 29, having previously pleaded guilty to the assault on the 64-year-old woman, who was known to him, on September 27 2021. He was also given a Restraining Order, prohibiting him from any further contact with the victim for life. The prosecution, authorised by the CPS, followed an investigation by officers from the West Sussex Safeguarding Investigations Unit. The incident was confined to the flat, and there was no risk to the wider community. Photo: Sussex Police

A Hastings man who refused to accept his partner's decision that their 11-year relationship was over, and entered her bedroom during the night after phoning her 54 times, has been sent to prison for stalking her, following a Sussex Police investigation. Paul Kehoe, 42, now of Wilmington Square, Eastbourne, pleaded guilty at Hastings Magistrates Court on June 28 to stalking without violence, but only on the morning the trial was due to start. He was given a 14-week prison sentence and a two-year Restraining Order prohibiting him from contacting his ex-partner and from being in Hastings or St Leonards. On May 14 Kehoe entered the St Leonards flat of his ex-partner twice, uninvited, in the early hours of the morning and later on the same morning. She called the police and although he had left before officers arrived he was tracked down and arrested later the same day. Photo: Sussex Police

Three teenagers have been sentenced for their part in the assault that left a Worthing dad with catastrophic brain injuries. Alan Willson, 47, is still unable to talk following the assault at around 7:30pm on Easter Sunday 2021. The three teenagers who took part in the assault have now been sentenced and two of their identities revealed to the public for the first time following an application submitted by members of the media. The teenagers are aged 14, 16, and 18. On May 12, after a 14-day trial at Hove Crown Court, two boys, now aged 14 and 16, who previously could not be named for legal reasons, were found guilty of grievous bodily harm with intent by a unanimous jury. George Tilley (left), 14, and Archie Tilley (right), 16, were both classified as dangerous offenders and given extended 12-year sentences to include a maximum of nine years in custody and three years on licence at their sentencing hearing at the same court on June 30.

Sentencing took place at the same court on June 30. Furlong was given a 20-month sentence, minus time already spent on remand. He will serve half in custody and half on licence - he was not classified as a dangerous offender. Photo: Sussex Police
