Knife Attack at Resort Ends in 4.5-Year Sentence

A 22-year-old man, Joshua Donnelly, has been sentenced to four and a half years for a brutal, unprovoked stabbing at Flamingo Land Resort that left a 38-year-old holidaymaker critically injured. The attack, fueled by a domestic dispute, saw Donnelly stab his victim three times in the abdomen with a kitchen knife — causing life-altering nerve damage and forcing his partner into intensive caregiving. Despite fleeing, Donnelly was quickly caught, and prosecutors said the evidence was overwhelming. The court’s sentence aims to offer some closure to the victim and his family as they rebuild their lives after a holiday turned into a nightmare.
