A drug addict who stabbed and robbed a man who had saved his life has been jailed for more than 12 years.Alan Dugdale, 51, was encouraged in the steak knife attack by his 36-year-old girlfriend Jamie Burrows, Newcastle Crown Court heard.The victim was left with multiple "appalling" injuries and said he felt he had been "targeted" for being a "good Samaritan".
Dugdale, who had some 100 offences on his criminal record, admitted robbing the man and burgling another person's home. Burrows admitted robbery and handling stolen goods and will be sentenced at a later date.Dugdale, of Laurel Street, Wallsend, North Tyneside, and Burrows, previously of Dilston Road in Fenham, Newcastle, went to a man's flat in Walker in September 2020, prosecutor Jessica Slaughter said.
The man knew Dugdale because he had previously saved the drug addict's life when he overdosed outside the victim's home, Ms Slaughter said.
The victim let Dugdale and Burrows in and they drank together before the defendants suggested the trio have sex, the court heard.But there is one question the couple are always asked - how much does it all cost?
