A boyfriend was stabbed by his partner after she complained he had stayed on a video call to a female friend for too long.
Ashley Simpson and her victim had been drinking at his home when he began a two-hour chat with the other woman. A court heard Simpson, 30, who had drank a bottle of Prosecco, three gins and some vodka, ended up stabbing the victim in the forearm and thigh and caused a cut to his chest.
The victim needed nine days off work, and has been left scarred and traumatised by what happened. Tabitha Buck, prosecuting, told Newcastle Crown Court the couple had been together since last summer and the attack happened on February 28.
