Sheffield man stabbed man and woman in the abdomen and the back during an “altercation”
The background to the December 2025 incident as well as Palmers’ other offending was an “awful tragedy” in his teenage years, said a judge
A Sheffield man stabbed a man and a woman in the abdomen and the back during an “altercation”, a court heard.
Donald Palmer, aged 56, had a criminal history going back to his “late teens”, for violence and dishonesty, Judge Anthony Dunne was told when the attacker was sentenced for the violence.
The judge noted the background to the December 2025 incident as well as Palmers’ other offending was an “awful tragedy” in his teenage years.
He told Palmer: “It seems to me that it’s difficult to say there’s a good prospect of rehabilitation in your case.”
Palmer, of Kyle Close, admitted wounding with intent.
He was jailed for 30 months at Sheffield Crown Court.
