Lawyers for Joshua Bowles, 29, suggested the assault was actually “incel” related.
Joshua Bowles, 29, stabbed and punched the woman on March 9 at a sports center in Cheltenham, southwest England, around 3 miles from the headquarters of GCHQ—Britain’s equivalent of the NSA—where the victim was stationed at the time of the attack and where Bowles had once worked as a software developer.
She added that he would have been sentenced to a full life term in jail if his victim had died. Instead, he now faces at least 13 years behind bars before he could be eligible for parole.. His attorneys said he had been romantically rejected by his victim’s predecessor when he worked at GCHQ and that he had looked up misogynistic assaults online on the day of his attack.
Bowles reportedly told authorities in a police interview he had selected his target “for her employment at the NSA.” “Due to the size and resourcing, American intelligence represents the largest contributor within the intelligence community so it made sense as the symbolic target,” he added. “I consider GCHQ just as guilty.”
On the night of the attempted murder, Bowles was armed with two knives as he waited outside the sports center in a parking lot. He attacked her as she left the building with a friend at around 9:15 p.m. The victim, her friend, and a passerby named Alex Fuentes managed to fend Bowles off, allowing the victim to temporarily escape back into the sports hall. Bowles then chased her inside and continued to stab her. She was rushed to a hospital for her multiple injuries.
