- She stabbed her 59-year-old victim 33 times at his flat where she was lodging with him. His body was found a month later with stab wounds to his chest and his throat cut. She then tried to blame an innocent man for the murder.
The judge said: "It is clear from the medical evidence that the initial attack in which he sustained some ten stab wounds in the neck would have disabled him. You mounted a second attack, stabbing him 23 times in the chest and having attacked him you left the premises leaving his body to be found a month later... You are clearly a callous and dangerous woman, you are a serial liar prepared to go to any length to allay responsibility." - Online Resources
