A DRUNK woman yelled "get the f*** out of my face" at a stranger before shoving him to his death in front of a tram.

Charissa Brown-Wellington, 31, sobbed as she was jailed for five years after Philip Carter was crushed under a train at Manchester's Victoria railway station.

The court heard she has a "personality disorder" as she claimed the pair were "play fighting" and she "didn't mean it" - after drinking a bottle of wine, taking ecstasy and pushing the labourer.

She sobbed loudly as she was sent down and Mr Justice William Davis said she presents a "real risk to other people".

He told the weeping killer: "There was nothing accidental about you losing your temper and pushing [Philip].

"There was nothing accidental about the fact you did it in a busy tram interchange where inevitably trams were coming and going."

She was classed as a dangerous offender and given an extended three year sentence - she must serve two thirds of her sentence before being considered for parole.

She wept in the dock as details of the day were told to the court, including Brown-Wellington's previous 65 convictions for violence, affray and assaulting a police officer.

Prosecutor Robert Hall said she was one-and-a-half times the legal drink-drive limit before the two strangers began arguing.

Insults went back and forth before Philip was pushed and crushed under the tram's wheels.

The Manchester Evening News reports Brown-Wellington pushed Philip "with excessive force" and he fell into the gap between the tram and the platform, becoming crushed.

The tram started to leave 30 seconds later, and Philip was fatally injured.

Defence barrister Mark Ford said there were offensive remarks made about Brown-Wellington's skin colour during the argument, adding she was immediately remorseful.

He had asked the judge to be "merciful" in this case, telling the court she has self-harmed and attempted to take her own life while in custody.

Last month Brown-Wellington, from Chadderton, near Oldham, was unexpectedly brought before a judge at Manchester Crown Court to face a pre-trial hearing following a discussion with lawyers.

She denied murder but pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter which was accepted by prosecutors.

She was remanded in custody and smiled and waved to her family as she was sent back down.

The tragedy happened at 7.50pm on Sunday June 12 when it is believed she and Philip were waiting for a tram on the platform.

Witnesses said an argument broke out during which ended with Philip falling under the tram as it pulled into the station.

Emergency services raced to the scene but victim was pronounced dead.

At the time Stephen Rhodes, of Transport for Greater Manchester, said: "I'm devastated to hear someone has died.

"My immediate thoughts are with this person's family and friends."

Since the incident, it is believed experts have complied a 250 page psychiatric report on Brown-Wellington.

According to court records, in 2013 she was jailed for four months for criminal damage, assaulting three police officers and using racially aggravated threatening or abusive words or behaviour.

Last April she was taken to court for fare dodging on a tram.
