A mum who lied to police searching for the father of her child after he stabbed a man to death wept today as she was jailed.
Demi Walsh pointed the finger for Paul Stenson’s murder at an innocent man despite it being her ex partner Adam Fletcher who stabbed the dad-of-two through the heart. The 28 year old was handed an 18 month prison term at Liverpool Crown Court this afternoon, weeks after jurors found her guilty of assisting an offender.
A family member shouted “love you Dem” as a tearful Walsh was led from the dock after Judge Brian Cummings QC jailed her for her role in helping Fletcher evade justice. Moments earlier, the judge had told her she only had herself to blame for the fact her and Fletcher’s daughter would now be without her parents as both began jail terms.
