MAN DETAINED IN HOSPITAL INDEFINITELY

Following stabbing incident

A Bournemouth man who repeatedly stabbed a man in the head with a knife while they were watching football on television has been detained indefinitely in a mental health hospital.

Orges Toromeni, aged 25, from Bourne Avenue in Bournemouth was given a Section 37 Hospital Order and a Section 41 Restriction Order at Bournemouth Crown Court on 30 January 2009.

Toromeni was found guilty of wounding with intent and unlawful wounding. He was sentenced to a term in hospital and will not be released until he is deemed to no longer present a danger to the public.

The judge also recommended that Toromeni be deported.

It was on 19 May 2007 that Toromeni met a friend in a kebab shop in Bournemouth town centre. The pair went back to the victim’s home in Old Christchurch Road to watch football.

Toromeni stabbed the victim, a 31-year old Bournemouth man, several times.  The victim sustained three stab wounds to the head as well as one to a shoulder and cuts to a hand.  He was treated by an ambulance crew for life-threatening injuries before being taken to hospital – treatment that has included specialist surgery at Salisbury’s Odstock Hospital to reattach severed tendons.

The officer in the case was Detective Sergeant Neil Phillips of Bournemouth and Poole CID.
