Mum Stabbed Lover With Carving Knife For Not Calling Every Two Hours
Mirror ^ | Jan 06, 2014 | Paul Byrne

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.”

“was sentenced to two years and eight months.”

I see yer problem right there. I guess we should be glad they didn’t “strongly caution” her.

I didn't want to wake up one morning with a knife sticking into my chest.

If it's any comfort, you probably wouldn't have woken up.

She then puffed a cigarette as she mopped up his blood.

"She's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake" sprang immediately to mind.

I'd keep reminding myself that, though she looks north of 45, she's hot because she's 21.

It's that British accent. Makes everything they say sound sophisticated.
