Natalie Bennett, 47, is currently standing trial accused of murdering 24-year-old Kasey Anderson
A woman called her boyfriend a "little rat" as he called for help after she had stabbed him in the heart, a jury has heard.
Audible gasps were heard among the public gallery as Bennett replied: "Kasey’s a drug dealer, he’s not this quiet thing. He uses weapons." The prosecutor said: "You just told this jury you wouldn’t stab him to the head. This jury has seen you doing just that, as captured by CCTV footage - what do you mean you say you wouldn’t stab him to the head?"
Mr Pratt: "You do agree that, at the time you did that stabbing action to his head, he was on the phone to the emergency services desperately trying to get help."Bennett: "I don’t know what you mean."Bennett: "No, I didn’t hurt him."Bennett: "I don’t know why I done that threat."Bennett: "No. I'd just been kicked in the stomach, what made me pee myself.
Bennett replied "yes" to the latter submission. Mr Pratt continued: "This was you who had flipped and completely lost your temper."Mr Pratt continued: "When you put a knife into somebody’s chest, they’re going to suffer serious harm. Aren’t they?"Mr Pratt: "Well you did. This wasn’t just one stab wound.
She told the operator that Mr Anderson had "stab wounds all over him" which she believed were "a bit deep". But the defendant claimed that she did not know who had stabbed him, saying: "He's come in like that."
