Man admits stabbing two men at a Basildon nightclub
It happened at Festival Leisure Park
A man who admitted stabbing two men in Basildon will be sentenced next month.
20 year old Wagna Silva, of Starboard Way in London, was among a group of 15 people involved in a fight at a nightclub last month.
It happened at Festival Leisure Park. One of his victims sustained a deep stab wound to the leg.
While the other suffered wounds to his arm and leg. But neither victim's injuries were life threatening.
“This was a violent attack on two individuals in front of hundreds of people who were outside a nightclub in Festival Leisure Park in Basildon.
“As a result of CCTV footage captured by the park’s control room, we were able to clearly identify Wagner and ascertain his role in the incident. Unfortunately for him, he had no option but to admit his guilt almost at his first possible opportunity.
“The fact that Wager had a concealed knife with him on this night out shows he was intent on committing crime and this incident could have ended up much, much worse for every person involved.”
Detective Constable Will Belsham, of Basildon CID, led the investigation
Silva, of Starboard Way, in London, was arrested shortly after the incident and was charged with two counts of GBH with intent, possession of a bladed article and possession of cannabis.
He admitted all charges at Basildon Crown Court on Thursday 4 November, and is due to be sentenced on December 16.
