Convicted rapist Muhammed Rodwan has today been sentenced to 16 years imprisonment for the savage machete attack on PC Stuart Outten.
Rodwan had been signalled to stop by PC Outten after his white van was shown as having no insurance.
Rodwan had initially failed to stop for officers but was bought to a stop after a short pursuit.
As PC Outten was asking Rodwan for his details, he became violent, punching PC Outten in the face.
During the struggle which then ensued, Rodwan pulled out a machete that he had kept in the front of his van and struck PC Outten over the head six times.
PC Outten sustained life-threatening injuries, including a fractured skull, but continued to try and detain Rodwan.
PC Outten’s taser initially failed to work on Rodwan.
But as Rodwan stood over a blood-soaked Outten, he was able to re-load his taser and fire another shot towards his attacker as he beared down on him with a machete.
Yesterday, Rodwan was found not guilty of attempted murder despite hitting the Met Officer over the head six times with a machete and despite continuing his attack when PC Outten was on the floor.
In sentencing Rodwan, Mrs Justice Carr said:
“This was a brutal and shocking attack on a police officer who was in the course of carrying out his duty”.
She told Rodwan that he had chosen to use excessive force with his machete and that she had not detected any remorse from Rodwan.
She added that Rodwan had been ‘arrogant’ when he told investigating officers that his life was more important than that of PC Outten’s.
Mrs Justice Carr told Rodwan that he continued to pose a risk to the public and that people had to be protected from people who carry and use knives.

This was an attempt to commit murder!
What tariff has the judge placed on the sentence.
this guy will re-offend on release 100% guaranteed
What on earth constitutes attempted murder? How bad does it have to get???
If the policeman had died the next day the culprit would have only been charged with manslaughter and not murder thus receiving a lighter sentence. In my opinion anyone who uses any kind of weapon on the police or the general public is guilty of attempted murder. Why would a person carry a weapon of any kind if they where not prepared to use it.
This should have been attempted murder. This man was intent as far as I’m concerned to murder.
To stand over a badly injured officer and go to carry on the attack is attempted murder.
He also stated his life was more important than the officers shows his contempt.
Sixteen years is NOT enough of a sentence for this dangerous person, he should have received life and I can’t for the life of me understand why he didn’t.
I hope the Officer continues to make a good recovery but I would imagine the psychological damage is in itself a life sentence for the Officer and his family
First off, I’m in the United States and none of the things I read in this newsletter makes any sense to me whatsoever. In an actually sane world, the attacker would have been shot dead with a firearm. The attacker has absolutely no value to his life, undoubtedly never did and has proven that he never will. There is no reason for the attacker to be alive today. And there is absolutely no reason that a police officer of any type has to use a taser which sometimes works, sometimes doesn’t instead of being allowed to carry a firearm. In this particular case, there was a chance that many civilians could have been killed, as well. I can’t understand how your country can tolerate such lunatic judges who let dangerous criminals free to be “politically correct.” Your judges clearly despise your society. The streets of England are now more dangerous than many third-world failed nation-states. Nothing good has ever come of political correctness. It is sad that a once-great nation such as England dies such an ignominious societal death at the hands of third-world invaders brought in to appease the globalists who demand political correctness. Sad
