Knife-wielding burglar who attacked women gets four years
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Imposing sentence, Judge Martin Nolan said the aggravated burglary was "serious" as it involved an encounter between Sarhan and the two women, during which one woman was injured trying to escape. Having considered Sarhan's personal circumstances and the mitigation, Judge Nolan imposed a five-year prison sentence, with the final 12 months suspended on strict conditions to encourage rehabilitation.
