Stafford Crown Court (David Jones/PA)
A “paranoid” killer who stabbed his girlfriend to death after working himself up into an “alcohol-fuelled fury” has been jailed for a minimum of 16 years and nine months.
Stafford Crown Court heard 29-year-old Kimberley Deakin was forced to scream to neighbours for help after being knifed in a “brutal” attack by her boyfriend Lewis Crofts on November 6 last year.
The court was told 30-year-old Crofts stabbed Ms Deakin to the face, neck and torso with a kitchen knife in the “near presence” of her baby daughter, who was either in the same room or an adjacent room.
