A mum who left her boyfriend fighting for his life after knifing him following months of bullying has been jailed.
Rhiann Burnie, 21, was furious when Shane McMullen, 23, failed to ring her every two hours from a party and plunged an 8in carving knife into his shoulder when he got home, a court heard.
She then puffed a cigarette as she mopped up his blood .
The couple had been in a relationship for a year which was “happy and healthy” until Burnie’s “darker more sinister side” emerged, Burnley crown court heard.
She had pulled a knife on him twice before but he had managed to disarm her, the court heard .
She had also smashed doors and furniture in rages and given him a black eye.
Paramedics called to her home in Burnley, Lancs, after the April attack thought Shane was dead.
The bricklayer lost blood from a severed artery and now has memory loss and nightmares.
Burnie, who has a two-year-old daughter, admitted wounding and was sentenced to two years and eight months.
Mr Recorder Andrew Long said: "It’s clear Shane was close to death and only the skill of the medical team which operated on him saved his life.
“He continues to suffer physical and psychological effects from what you did and is likely to do so for some considerable time.”
What is a bunny boiler?
“I’d hit it.”
You “are be the man” Laz. You be careful now, as you are irreplaceable here on Free Republic. :)
Bunny boilers is a reference to the movie ‘Fatal Attraction’ with Michael Douglass and Glenn Close. Douglass has affair with her buts ends it but she ends up stalking him. He comes home one day to a boiling pot of water only to find his daughter’s pet bunny in it.
OMG! THAT IS MY DEEPEST FANTASY!
That cow isn’t worth1% of this kind of crap.
I don’t know how old you are but when a man finds himself single in his fifties (widower) the hunt is much more fun and reasonable. The real crazies are either dead or married to other crazies.
Concur, that chassis has a lot of miles on it.
Remember the old saying..”For every beautiful woman you see, there is always some guy who is tired of her crap.”
I’m in my sixties. I’m encountering lots of crazies.
I’m in my sixties too. I’ve learned we’re all crazy; it’s a matter of finding a crazy you can live with :)
