Ex-army major attacked ex-wife with Stanley knife

A former Army major is on trial for allegedly attacking his ex-wife with a knife. Jonathan Creak, 50, is accused of slashing Rhiannon Creak's throat and causing severe injuries. The incident happened in a country lane in Norfolk after he confronted her about their divorce. Prosecutors claim Creak yelled, "you need to die," during the attack. Rhiannon suffered serious wounds to her neck, back, and legs. She reportedly struggled to breathe as the violence unfolded. A passerby intervened, and Creak fled the scene. Rhiannon required emergency surgery and a blood transfusion due to her injuries. Creak has denied charges of attempted murder and inflicting grievous bodily harm but has admitted to assault and possessing a knife. The prosecution argues that his actions and words show he intended to kill her. They describe the attack as "chilling and vicious." The couple had been apart for several years, with no communication except through their lawyers. Creak had been following Rhiannon while she was driving and confronted her when she stopped in Hardwick. Creak claims he was enraged by their past and felt she had taken everything from him. He stated he did not plan to kill her but just wanted answers. The trial continues as the court examines the details of the case.
