A Congleton man has been jailed for attempted murder.

Jordan Williamson, 32, was sentenced to 23 years at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court on Monday, December 15, after he pleaded guilty to attempted murder at an earlier hearing.

Williamson also admitted to possession of a knife blade/sharp pointed article in a public place, affray and assault by beating of an emergency worker.

It follows an attack in Biddulph in March of this year which left a man with life-changing injuries.

Detective Constable Tracey Gascoine, of CID North, said: "I commend the bravery of the victim and his wife throughout the investigation. They have been supported by specially-trained officers since the attack.

"This was a vicious attack on a man inside his own home. He didn't know Williamson.

"We worked hard to bring Williamson to justice and I hope today's sentence goes some way to providing some comfort to the victim and his family."

Staffordshire Police were called at 1.10am on March 15, 2025, to reports of a burglary at a property on Congleton Road, Biddulph.

Officers arrested Williamson at the scene and he was charged the next day.
