Miranda Kerr Home Intruder Charged With Attempted Murder
A homeless man who stabbed Miranda Kerr's security guard in the eye after jumping the fence of her Malibu home has been charged with attempted murder on Tuesday (Oct. 25).
The homeless man, identified as Shaun Anthony Haywood, hopped the fence to Kerr's Malibu home at 11:10 AM on October 14. The 29-year-old intruder, who is a fellow Australian like Kerr, was trying to gain access to Kerr's home in order to deliver a letter, prosecutors said.
Haywood was arraigned on Tuesday at the LA County Superior Court in Van Nuys, California, office recommending bail be set at more than $1 million. If convicted, Haywood could be sentenced to life in prison with two additional felonies including aggravated mayhem and assault with a deadly weapon, according to the LA County District Attorney's Office.
Haywood managed to jump the fence earlier this month before grabbing the guard's knife and slashing him in the face, prosecutors said. The guard then opened fire and shot Haywood four times, the LA County Sheriff's Office told DailyMail.com.
Gruesome photos of the incident show a man kneeling over what appears to be a prone and shirtless Haywood, whose head and torso is covered with blood. Both the intruder and the security guard were flown to a hospital and were left with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
Miranda Kerr, 33, married Hollywood star Orlando Bloom in 2010 and gave birth to the couple's child the following year. However three years later Bloom and Kerr announced that they were separating.
Kerr, who lives with her five-year-old son Flynn in the $2million Malibu ranch, was not home at the time of the intrusion. 'There were no occupants in the house at the time of this incident. The incident took place on the property, but not inside the house,' Deputy Charles Braden told the Telegraph.
