The 'frenzied' attack came after ambulance worker Stacey Smith and her boss had argued over work shift patterns.
An ambulance worker has been jailed for 20 years after she tried to kill her boss with a hammer, before texting 'oppsie xx!' to a friend, police said. Stacey Smith waited outside her manager's home before attempting to murder her in what Greater Manchester Police described as an 'unprovoked and frenzied hammer attack'. The 46-year-old was said to be 'filled with rage after a prolonged row over work shift patterns', the force added.
After the attempted murder, Smith messaged a friend: 'I've done it. I've smashed her head in. Oppsie xx!' She added that she would 'go on the run' to Liverpool, the force said. Instead, she handed herself in and was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. Smith was sentenced to 20 years in prison and a further five years on licence at Manchester Crown Court on Tuesday.
