  "summary": "A Nigerian man, Osarenkhoe Atutie, has been sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in prison for attempting to murder his estranged wife in Edinburgh, Scotland. Atutie, 26, stabbed his wife, Victory Atutie, 30, 12 times in the face and body on Duke Street, Leith, in November 2025 after tracking her down following their marriage breakdown. The High Court in Edinburgh described the assault as a \"sustained attack\" on a \"defenceless victim\" and imposed a lifetime non-harassment order on Atutie, banning him from contacting his estranged wife. The judge emphasized the victim's near-fatal condition, stating that she could have died, and praised the members of the public who intervened during the attack.",
