Zombie-knife attacker gets 18-year term

A ZOMBIE knife-wielding teenager who slashed a man at Notting Hill Carnival has been jailed for 18 years.

- 

Rumarni Tuitt, 19 (pictured), used a 12-inch knife to slice open the stomach of 18-year-old Kamani Spooner on August 26 last year.

Tuitt was caught carrying a Rambo knife which he swung out at Notting Hill Carnival the year before, although no-one was injured, the Old Bailey heard.

He was serving a community order for that offence when he attacked Mr Spooner in front of a crowd of revellers.

The defendant, from Walthamstow, east London, was found guilty of attempted murder having admitted possession of a knife.
