Overview
- The jury, which returned unanimous verdicts Tuesday, found Kulvinder Ram guilty of attempting to murder a woman and a toddler and of causing grievous bodily harm to a young girl.
- The October 25, 2024 attack in Dagenham left the woman with a 10cm neck wound, the girl with a severe facial injury, and the boy fighting for his life after his throat was cut almost all the way around.
- An off‑duty Metropolitan Special Constabulary sergeant, Seff Serroukh, tackled and detained Ram in the street, and a passerby helped stem a victim’s bleeding, actions police said likely saved lives.
- Jurors heard Ram had undiagnosed schizophrenia and growing paranoia, yet prosecutors argued he still knew what he was doing and intended to kill, and the jury agreed.
- Ram was remanded in custody after the verdicts and is due to be sentenced in June, with investigators praising the responders and noting all three victims survived after surgery.
