A “manipulative, emotionally volatile and jealous” woman stabbed her ex-partner in the heart on Christmas Day while on police bail for strangling him the month before he died, a court has heard.
Kirsty Carless, 33, was “fuelled by cocaine and alcohol” when she took a taxi from her home in Cannock, Staffordshire, to the address where 31-year-old Louis Price was living and plunged a kitchen knife into his chest after a friend had shown her his profile on a dating app, Stafford Crown Court was told.
