Ipswich Home Intruder Who Stabbed Woman Eight Times Gets 30-Year Term

Citing compelling evidence alongside disturbing material found on his phone, the judge imposed a deterrent term.

Overview

  • Elliott Mallett, 24, was sentenced to 30 years for attempted murder and aggravated burglary after a unanimous jury verdict in September.
  • He must serve at least two-thirds of the sentence before parole eligibility, followed by a five-year licence period.
  • Police released video showing Mallett approaching officers minutes after the attack while falsely claiming he had been assaulted.
  • Investigators linked him to the scene with phone location data, stolen items recovered nearby, and a knife marked “Maggi Soups” matching one found at his home.
  • Judge Martyn Levett warned about unlocked doors and the prevalence of knife-carrying, as Suffolk Police described Mallett as dangerous and lacking remorse.
