Naked Carpenter Accused of Attempted Murder

Robert Jenner, known as 'The Naked Carpenter', is on trial for the attempted murder of police officer Sean Quinn after allegedly stabbing him 23 times with scissors during an altercation in his Maidstone flat on June 15, 2023. The altercation occurred after Jenner was reported running naked in a local park and exposing himself to women, prompting police to investigate. Body camera footage presented in court showed Jenner barricaded in his apartment, where he attacked PC Quinn upon entry, resulting in severe injuries including a 'gaping wound' on the officer's forehead. Jenner has pleaded not guilty, claiming self-defense against what he perceived as an unlawful arrest. Prosecutors argue that the brutality of the attack indicates Jenner intended to kill or cause serious injury. The trial continues as the court examines the evidence presented.
