A VIOLENT knifeman has been found guilty of attempted murder after stabbing a woman on a boat. David Rackett, of Scours Lane, Reading, was brought before Reading Crown Court this week after the attack in April last year. During a six-day trial, the court heard details of how Rackett met a woman in her 40s on Oxford Road on Sunday, April 16. About 9.45pm the pair walked together to a boat in Scours Lane in which he was living. Police said 10 minutes after they got to his home, Rackett launched the violent attack on his victim throwing her to the floor and strangling her.
