Man jailed for trying to murder estranged wife in Edinburgh knife attack in front of daughter
Osarenkhoe Atutie received an extended sentence and an indefinite non-harassment order after the attack left Victory Atutie with 12 injuries.
- On Wednesday, Osarenkhoe Atutie, 26, was sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in custody at the High Court in Glasgow for the attempted murder of his estranged wife, Victory Atutie, in Edinburgh.
- The assault took place on November 11, 2025, when Atutie confronted Victory on Duke Street in Leith while she took their daughter to a doctor's appointment, initiating a sustained attack with a knife.
- Victory sustained 12 injuries, including a collapsed lung; Lord Cubie noted she survived "plainly through a combination of luck and the intervention of three passers-by" who disarmed and restrained the attacker.
- The sentence includes a nine-year extended term comprising seven-and-a-half years in custody and 18 months of supervision on licence, plus an indefinite non-harassment order banning Atutie from contacting Victory.
- Detective Sergeant Craig McMillan stated, "Without their intervention and assistance, there is a high chance that the victim would not have survived the attack," affirming Police Scotland's priority on tackling violent crime.
