A drunk woman stabbed her partner after believing he was cheating on her.
Julie Gibbons, 56, and her partner, Paul Harrison had rowed earlier in the evening of August 2, 2020, after she accused him of being unfaithful to her, which he denied. He made them both some food at her home in St Helens, and gave her a knife to cut it but she refused the food and he took the knife back to the kitchen drawer.
By this point Gibbons had drunk almost three bottles of wine and continued to accuse Mr Harrison of cheating. Cheryl Mottram, prosecuting at Liverpool Crown Court on Tuesday, May 24, said he then grabbed the knife and placed it on top of the cupboard saying "Go on, do what you want with it".
