Drunk Woman Stabs Partner In The Heart With A Knife, Resists Police Arrest
What police saw and experienced inside a home in Jarrow, Tyne and Wear can only be described as something that was ripped straight out of a slasher film.
A bodycam footage from one of the responding officers showed the horrific incident when they found 45-year-old Paul Taylor with a knife on his chest her drunk girlfriend, Nicola Lee stabbed him through the heart after a heated argument.
Prior to the crime, Chronicle Live reported that one of their neighbors had heard the two arguing, with Lee threatening to kill Taylor. The witness added that the house suddenly “went quiet” – a signal that the 44-year-old suspect had already carried out her vile plan.
Police were notified and immediately went to the scene where they found Lee alongside Taylor, who was slumped in their kitchen, said The Sun.
The victim was pronounced dead at 2:24 a.m. after paramedics failed to save his life.
Lee, on the other hand, resisted when police tried to arrest her for suspicion of murder. The video showed her throwing expletives at the officers.
Officers tried their best and finally made Lee to calm down. She then asked them why they are arresting her and began to act aggressively again.
“Taking a P—s. Get the f—k off,” she said.
Lee also refused to accept that her partner was dead and told the officers that they were “liars.”
After several attempts, the responding police officers were able to subdue Lee.
Lee’s 999 call was played during her trial, but instead of admitting to the crime, she said that Taylor stabbed himself.
She was caught saying that it wasn’t the first time Taylor has tried to hurt himself and that he also “smashed himself on the head with a hammer” the last time they fought.
Jurors rejected her alibi and found Lee guilty of manslaughter, but the suspect was cleared for murder.
Prosecutors also claimed that Lee had a “propensity to be violent.”
Two of Lee’s former partners also helped in establishing a case against her. One of them said Lee threatened to kill her “every week.”
“From her, I would take it serious. Yes, she’s a woman, but I’m actually frightened of her.”
The other recalled that Lee “grabbed him by the testicles” and stabbed him in the arm with a knife.
Lee’s former neighbor also described her to be “manipulative, calculating, venomous, dangerous and viciously aggressive.”
