Ryan Gee Jailed for Life for Premeditated Stabbing of Probation Officer in Preston

The 35-year-old must serve at least 16 years for a planned meeting-room ambush using multiple knives, an imitation firearm.

Overview

  • Liverpool Crown Court imposed a life sentence with a 16-year minimum term before parole consideration, following Gee’s guilty pleas.
  • Prosecutors said Gee attacked during a scheduled 22 July 2025 appointment at the Preston Probation office, repeatedly stabbing a female officer.
  • The court heard he brought two knives and a BB gun, then trapped a receptionist in the reception area during the incident.
  • Police later recovered a letter blaming probation staff and a notebook about the service, which supported findings of premeditation.
  • The victim underwent extensive surgery, was discharged on 2 September, and described severe, lasting psychological harm in a statement to the court.
