Man admits knife attack on soldier near barracks
A man has pleaded guilty to attempting to murder a uniformed Army officer in a "violent" knife attack outside a Kent barracks.
Anthony Esan, 25, "repeatedly" stabbed Lt Col Mark Teeton in Sally Port Gardens, near Brompton Barracks in Chatham, on 23 July 2024.
Esan was arrested near his home in Rochester about 25 minutes after the attack.
The case had been delayed several times over concerns around Esan's mental health and fitness to plead.
