  16. Police anger at appeal of man jailed for 'horror' hammer attack on officerspublished at 13:15 British Summer Time 22 August 2017

    Lizzie Massey
    BBC Live reporter

    A convicted murderer, who launched a "horror film" hammer attack on police officers, could be back on the streets in two and a half years.

    Jamshid Piruz lashed out at two police constables with a claw hammer during a break-in on 7 January 2016 in Crawley.

    Earlier this year he was jailed for life, with a minimum of six years after admitting burglary, affray and two counts of attempting to cause GBH with intent.

    During an appeal hearing, the minimum tariff was reduced to three years.

    Piruz has already served six months so could be back on the streets by the end of 2019.

    He previously served six years in the Netherlands for locking his female tenant in a room and then slitting her throat.

    It is highly frustrating that a male, who is a convicted murderer in another European country, has been treated so leniently by the appeal judge. When located by police, who were searching for him to arrest him for a string of recent offences in Crawley, he was prepared to use significant violence towards officers in an attempt to avoid apprehension. Who can forget the body worn video footage showing the officers with hammer blows raining down on them, before sufficient numbers arrived to subdue and control him. These officers were attacked and assaulted while simply doing their job, investigating crime and seeking to bring criminals to justice.
