A woman has been jailed for killing her boyfriend in Wythenshawe.

Michelle Ingham, 48, pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Kai Prothero.

Mr Prothero, 47, died from multiple stab wounds last summer.

Police said a woman arrived in a taxi in Maismore Road to visit her friend at around 1pm on August 24 last year.

She was immediately approached by Ingham, who said her boyfriend was dead.

Another woman then rang an ambulance as Ingham made her way back to the flat and performed CPR Mr Prothero - with the help of a 999 call handler - before an ambulance crew arrived.

A paramedic found blood and smashed crockery in the hallway - and blood on Mr Prothero’s face.

He was pronounced dead shortly before 1.10pm. A post-mortem examination revealed Mr Prothero died was a result of multiple stab wounds.

Ingham was arrested at the flat and has remained in custody ever since. She has now been jailed for four years and six months.

Senior Investigating Officer Duncan Thorpe, of GMP’s Major Incident Support Unit, said: “Losing a loved one in these circumstances is devastating and something no family should have to go through.

“My thoughts are with Kai’s family today, as they have been since the start of the investigation.

“My hope is that today will give them some comfort, knowing the person responsible for taking Kai’s life is in prison.”
