A children's fashion designer slashed her husband with scissors after finding naked photographs of his older lover on his mobile phone, a court has heard.

Charlotte Laudat, 31, inflicted eight wounds on her husband Simon after finding the images of the woman “in her late seventies".

"I saw various pictures of a lady in her late seventies. I never want to see them again,” she told the court.

Ms Laudat, who designed children’s clothes under the brand Little Lott London, slashed him across the face, Blackfriars Crown Court heard, according to the Evening Standard.

She also told him: “You are going to die tonight."

Mr Laudat, who confessed to an affair, injured his ankles and was left needing a wheelchair or walking frame to get around after he leapt out of a first-floor window to escape.
