A SEAFORD man was stabbed 19 times in a frenzied attack, 4.30am, Wednesday 20 January.
The man, 36, was at a Claude St property with the occupant and the occupant’s female partner when the alleged attack occurred.
Detective Senior Constable Ashley Eames, of Frankston CIU, said it appeared the trio had met that day and drank at Frankston and Seaford hotels before returning to the property late in the evening.
The carousing continued in the driveway until the early hours when the occupant went to bed, but became agitated and went outside, allegedly attacking the victim with a kitchen knife. The man sustained two deep stab wounds and 17 slash wounds before staggering off and knocking on three doors in the street, urging neighbours to call an ambulance.
Police attended and arrested the offender and his partner, both 33. They will allege the woman washed the knife and hid it in her clothing when police arrived. The pair has been charged with intentionally causing serious injury and bailed for a filing hearing at a later date.
Detective Eames said another man had been arrested in Claude St for being drunk and disorderly an hour before the incident, possibly from the same group.
