A Kent father stabbed a man before his son drove a BMW onto the pavement and pinned the victim against a wall.
A Kent father stabbed a man in the chest before his son drove a BMW onto the pavement and pinned the victim against a wall on 4 April 2025. Abdul Gunes, 74, travelled to an address near Cheriton High Street to confront a man with whom he had an ongoing dispute. His son, Necdet Gunes, 46, drove separately to the same address in a silver BMW. When the man answered the door, he was verbally abused before Abdul stabbed him in the chest with a knife.
The pair fled and got into the BMW. When the injured man followed them on foot, Necdet drove onto the pavement and pinned him against a wall. A passing delivery driver witnessed the incident, called emergency services and provided the BMW's registration number. Officers stopped the car in Marine Parade, Hythe, within an hour and arrested Necdet. Abdul was arrested at his home address later that day. The victim was treated at a London hospital for the stab wound and other serious upper-body injuries and has since been discharged.
Both men pleaded guilty at Canterbury Crown Court on 26 January. Abdul Gunes admitted causing grievous bodily harm with intent and was jailed for four years and four months. Necdet Gunes admitted attempted grievous bodily harm with intent and received a three-year prison sentence. Both men were given 10-year restraining orders.
