Kasey Anderson died aged 24 after being stabbed in the heart by his 47-year-old girlfriend
Natalie Bennett's history of domestic violence gave a stark warning that she would go on to become a killer.
"I moved him out the way, actually pushed him out the way. I said 'keep away from my lad, keep away from my house'. Ms Anderson said she told her to "f*** off", at which Bennett "got angry and come into my gate shouting the odds". She recalled: "I told her to go away and leave him alone, I told her to leave him alone and stop what she’s doing to him."
She reported that he had said this had happened "easily 20 times", and said of one incident after he "came home quite late in the evening" in February this year: "He had a stab wound to the head. A lump and a stab wound to the head."I kept seeing him rubbing his head. He had a cut on the head and a lump on the head.
Many of his answers were said to have been "incoherent", with the casualty left vomiting such were the severity of his wounds. The call handler could hear Bennett's voice in the background though and asked to speak to her instead, at which point she "effectively took over the call". "The slash wounds may have been superficial in nature and the stab to the leg may be of a shallow depth, but together they demonstrate a concerted attack which provides the background for the fatal wound to the chest. It is our case that Natalie Bennett lied to the operator because she knew full well what she had done and had no excuse for it."
Bennett claimed during her trial that she had stabbed Mr Anderson in-self defence once after he had attacked her. She told the jury from the stand: "He’s kicked me and I’ve flew into there, into the kitchen, and I’ve peed myself."
