Louie Graham, 22, was sentenced to nearly five years in prison for intentionally inflicting grievous bodily harm on a man during an attack in west Cumbria in December.

Louie Graham, 22, was sentenced to nearly five years in prison at Carlisle Crown Court for intentionally inflicting grievous bodily harm. The attack took place on December 7 last year at the home of Graham's former partner in west Cumbria. Graham, accompanied by three other men, broke down a door and attacked the victim. The victim's injuries were severe, including a collapsed lung, facial fractures and a gaping head wound. He was left unconscious and in a coma. Blood spatters covered the stairs and living room walls and carpets.

The victim was visiting Graham's former partner at the time of the attack. When the group arrived, he was told to leave but returned out of concern for the woman. The former partner called police, who found the victim lying on the floor outside, covered in blood and unconscious. Prosecutor Brendan Burke described the violence as indicating 'the ferocity' of the attack. The prosecution alleged the attack was a group activity and motivated by revenge, though Graham disputed both claims.
