A 19-year-old girl has been jailed for 11 years in the UK after she stabbed her boyfriend during sex.

Zoe Adams, 19, stabbed Kieran Bewick, 18, while she was dressed up in clown make-up as they engaged in intercourse.

Adams had been holding a pillow over Bewick’s head when she stabbed him with a 10-inch blade, which she admitted to in court.

Although she admitted to the crime, she told Carlisle Crown Court that she had no memory of the incident as she said she blacked out due to drug and alcohol intake.

Adams said she only remembered coming to when she could hear Bewick asking: ‘What have you done!’.

Bewick denied claims by Adams that he kissed her against her will and Judge James Adkin agreed and said she planned the attack after taking the knife and duct tape into the bedroom.

In total, Bewick suffered five stab wounds — two to his chest, one to his upper left arm, one on his right thigh and one to the right hand.

Messages and images on Adams’ phone suggested that she was also fixated with male human sacrifice.

The court heard that one message on her phone read: ‘I don’t think about males unless said male is strapped up and being used as a human sacrifice – you should be grateful you are not part of it.’

In a statement after the judgement, Detective Constable Calvin Greaves said: “Any assault with a knife has the potential for fatal consequences.

‘In this instance, the young victim of this callous and violent attack has been very fortunate to escape with his life.

‘Adams told officers she blacked out and had no memory of the attack. Her 17-year-old victim is not so fortunate. He will have to live with the physical and mental scars of Adams’ actions for the rest of his life.

‘He has shown great courage throughout the investigation, not least in giving detectives a statement regarding the attack whilst only hours into his recovery.’
