Fatal Attraction

Jilted Tatiana Bastos knifed former boyfriend Ricardo Morais in the groin after he rejected her bid to bed him following the collapse of their four-year romance.



The six-inch blade sliced through three levels of clothing and left him needing stitches to his manhood.



Then Bastos heaped further misery on her ex-lover by lying to police claiming she knifed him after he tried to rape her.



The stabbing came two months after Ricardo, who had a new girlfriend, broke up with Bastos.



She jumped into his car and refused to get out of the vehicle after he rejected her attempt to seduce him.



So he drove off with her in the passenger seat heading for the factory where he worked in Newark, Notts, hoping that security staff there would help get rid of her.



Lincoln Crown Court heard how she suddenly pulled the knife out of her handbag as he steered the motor.



Ricardo who had lived with her in Lincoln before the 2008 attack but now has a home in Peterborough, explained: "She said she was going to kill me and then kill herself. I didn't believe her and kept driving with my eyes on the road ahead.



"The next thing I felt Tatiana leaning into me and felt the blade in my groin. She did not say anything. I felt I was going to die."



Prosecutor Caroline Bradley told the court that Bastos had grilled her ex-partner for information about his new girlfriend.



The lawyer continued: "It was almost a situation of if she could not have him, then nobody else could."



Bastos, from Lincoln, admitted unlawful wounding, possessing an offensive weapon and perverting the course of justice and was jailed for 32 months by Judge Michael Heath who told her: "This was a wicked thing to do.



"When you stabbed the knife into his groin, it penetrated three levels of clothing, his jeans, his thermals and his boxer shorts. He and you are very fortunate that no more serious injury was caused because it is no exaggeration to say you could have quite easily killed him.



"You then attempted to orchestrate a false allegation of sexual assault against him to deflect the blame away from yourself. You lied and lied for days until the truth came out."



Tatiana Bastos, like Glenn Close's character from, will not be denied. The 29-year-old was sentenced to 32 months in jail after she admitted in court to stabbing her ex-boyfriend in his penis because he wouldn't have sex with her. (BTW: This happened in the UK.)Craziness!
