A man who crossed a street to stab a stranger, a driver who killed a father in a hit-and-run on Christmas Eve eve, and a care worker who sent sexually explicit AI-generated videos to what he thought was a 14-year-old girl were among those jailed in Wales this week. Courts across the country also dealt with multiple drug supply operations, a planned ambush that left a man with a fractured jaw, and a serial restraining order breacher convicted for the 24th time.
Violent offences
Walter Kanhukamwe, 24, of Ely, Cardiff, was sentenced to six years in prison with an extended three-year licence period after stabbing a man outside his home. Kanhukamwe had watched the victim before crossing the road and attacking him with a kitchen knife. He was convicted of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm at Cardiff Crown Court.
Summer Marl-Brock, 21, lured her ex-boyfriend to a late-night meeting in Ewloe, where her cousin David Brock, 38, and Aaron Evans, 34, ambushed him in his car. The victim suffered a fractured jaw, bite marks and facial injuries. All three admitted wounding with intent at Mold Crown Court. Brock was jailed for seven years and two months, Evans for six years and three months, and Marl-Brock received 54 months.
Dangerous driving
Daniel Douglas Wyke, 28, from Carmarthen, was sentenced to four-and-a-half years at Swansea Crown Court after admitting causing death by dangerous driving. Wyke struck pedestrian Aaron Jones, 38, while speeding through Llanpumsaint on December 23, 2024, before fleeing the scene. He was also banned from driving for eight years and two months.
Drug offences
Craig Jones and Rhys Probert, both 40, were each jailed for three years and nine months at Cardiff Crown Court for possession with intent to supply heroin and cocaine on the streets of Newport. Sarah Rees, 44, linked to their operation, received a two-year suspended sentence. All three pleaded guilty.
Kyle Williams, 38, and Simon Farr, 54, both from Abertillery, were jailed for running a cocaine supply network across the Gwent Valleys over the course of a year. Williams, who directed the operation, received four years while Farr, who acted as a runner, was handed 30 months at Cardiff Crown Court. Both pleaded guilty.
Stewart Parker, 34, from Skewen, was caught selling cocaine outside a bar in Neath by undercover officers. His supplier, Sophie Rees, 34, from Neath, was arrested the following day. Both pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of cocaine and were each sentenced to three years in prison at Swansea Crown Court.
Jordan Hamilton, 31, of Trebanos, Pontardawe, was jailed for 33 months at Swansea Crown Court after admitting being concerned in the supply of cocaine and cannabis from his home. Police found drug paraphernalia and incriminating messages on his phone linking him to dealing. His partner Gemma Davies, 36, awaits sentencing.
Bleu Stean-Tannis, 40, of Mount Pleasant, Swansea, was jailed for 32 months at Swansea Crown Court after police found a cannabis growing operation across three bedrooms of his home, with 48 plants worth up to £20,000. He had been released on licence from a previous sentence for grievous bodily harm.
Kamber Murrja, 24, of Heston, was sentenced to 30 weeks at Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court after pleading guilty to cannabis cultivation. Police discovered 400 cannabis plants inside a property in Porth after the letting agency reported suspicious wiring and unpaid rent. Murrja attempted to flee but was caught with the help of drone operators.
Sexual offences
John Langdon, 63, a care worker from Machynlleth, was jailed for 16 months at Swansea Crown Court after sending sexually explicit AI-generated videos to someone he believed was a 14-year-old girl on a chat app. The profile was operated by a paedophile hunter group. He was also placed on the sex offenders register for 10 years.
Harassment
Michael Dennis Evans, 65, of Townhill, Swansea, was sentenced to seven months at Swansea Crown Court after breaching a restraining order by attending his ex-partner’s home. Evans has 23 previous convictions for restraining order breaches and harassment.
Theft
Samantha Jones, 41, of Maesteg, was sentenced to 12 weeks at Cardiff Magistrates’ Court after pleading guilty to six counts of theft from Asda and Filco Stores.
