A WOMAN who lunged at her partner with a knife after a boozy sex romp has been jailed.

Josette Celik stabbed lover Adrian Doughty in the stomach at a property in Hailsham.

Mr Doughty was lucky to survive, and likened her to the demonic blue-eyed doll Chucky from the film Child’s Play.

He said Celik had brandished a knife “with a face you never, never forget”.

Celik, 37, was arrested when Mr Doughty fled to a neighbour’s flat.

She was “screaming, struggling and kicking out” at police and even sank her teeth into an officer while in custody.

At Brighton Crown Court she was found guilty of inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent after a trial.

The mum-of-five was jailed for five and a half years.

The court heard that Celik, of Harkness Drive, Hastings, had arrived at Lepeland in Hailsham on October 27.

She romped with Mr Doughty while drinking, and stayed over.

The next day they carried on drinking as he cooked them a whole chicken for dinner.

But they started rowing and violence erupted as she turned like “Chucky” and came at him with a kitchen knife at about 4pm.

Prosecutor Richard Saynor said neighbours heard the pair arguing over the course of the day, which became physical at about 4pm.

He added: “She jumped on his back and began to hit him with her hands.

“Ultimately she went into the kitchen, took a kitchen knife, returned to the lounge and then stabbed Mr Doughty.”

In a video of a police interview played to the jury, Mr Doughty said Celik came into the lounge with a knife and “a face you never, never forget”.

He said her expression was “kind of like Chucky” - an apparent reference to the Child’s Play horror movie franchise involving a doll.

He said: “She came right up to my face. She was insane.”

Celik had claimed she had acted in self defence, but was convicted by the jury.

But Hannah Hurley, defending, said her client felt remorse for Mr Doughty.
