Indian-origin man guilty of attempted murder of woman, child in UK

Ram is to be sentenced at the Old Bailey in the coming days, as reported in the article.

The article published on May 13, 2026 confirms Ram's conviction and notes he is set to be sentenced at the Old Bailey in the coming days.

The court heard Ram was suffering from undiagnosed schizophrenia at the time of the attack, with paranoid beliefs and erratic behaviour, though not to the extent of lacking awareness of his actions.

Kulvinder Ram faced a four-week trial at the Old Bailey. The jury found him guilty of attempting to kill the woman and child, and guilty of inflicting grievous bodily harm on a second child.

A member of the public ran into the house and attempted to stem the bleeding of one of the victims, playing a major role in saving their life.

Special Police Sergeant Seff Serroukh, off duty, ran toward the danger, detained Ram with his hands behind his back, and kept him on the ground until on-duty colleagues arrived to take him into custody. He explained he acted without hesitation to protect others.

The court heard Ram had become increasingly paranoid and had threatened to kill one of the victims two weeks prior to the attack.

Kulvinder Ram stabbed a woman and two children in Dagenham. All three victims required surgery and were rushed to hospital. The incident occurred in October 2024 and later drew police investigation and trial proceedings.
