Mistaken Identity Attack Leads to 14-Year Sentence
24 Dec
Summary
- A mistaken identity home invasion resulted in a 14-year prison sentence.
- The convict, Michael Dumbuya, was part of an organised crime group seeking drugs.
- Dumbuya led police on a 150mph chase, crashing his vehicle after the assault.
Michael Dumbuya, 37, has received a sentence of 14 years and five months for his role in a brutal home invasion that occurred on May 20th. Dumbuya, acting as a paid enforcer for an organised crime group, travelled to South Wales intending to recover missing drugs but went to the wrong address.
During the prolonged assault, Mr. Hudd was violently attacked, punched, kicked, and had his head stamped on. Dumbuya was later apprehended after a high-speed police chase exceeding 150mph on the M4 motorway, which culminated in a crash with another vehicle. Police discovered a loaded sawn-off shotgun, a balaclava, and other weapons in Dumbuya's car.
The victim, Cody Hudd, stated that the attack profoundly impacted his life, causing him to become distant, easily distracted, and lose motivation. Dumbuya pleaded guilty to several charges, including possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life and dangerous driving. Two other men are awaiting trial for their involvement.
