Gillian McKenzie, a 53-year-old a woman stabbed her ex to death to ‘put him out of his misery’ because he was moaning about life. 

 

Metro UK reports that the woman grabbed a seven inch kitchen knife and stabbed former boyfriend Jonathan Ingham three times while he listened to Radio 2.

 

She then told police: ‘He should be f**king dead. He is better off dead.

‘He had to die, he couldn’t live like that anymore. I tried to kill him and put him out of his misery.’

 

Despite claiming she didn’t intend to kill Mr Ingham, a jury found her guilty of attempted murder after a trial at Canterbury Crown Court.

 

The 53-year-old, from Ashford, Kent said on the night of the incident she was ‘just fed up with his self-pity.’

 

She added: ‘I was really fed up having to hear his constant moaning about how hard his life was. I just couldn’t do anything for him.’

 

Prosecutor Simon Taylor had told the court how the couple had been in a relationship for nine years but had split up in 2016, although they had remained friends.

 

Mr Taylor said that Jonathan would go to McKenzie’s home for a meal, but ‘it would appear she wanted this arrangement to come to an end.’

 

On March 23, Jonathan, who had been living in a car in a Tenterden scrapyard, had arrived at the house at 8.30pm and McKenzie had already been drinking on her birthday.

 

The couple watched TV and drank some more wine before the man went to take some painkillers because his foot was hurting.

 

Mr Taylor told how she snatched them away before going into the kitchen and returning with a silver knife with a six to seven inch blade and stabbing him three times.

 

He said: ‘She stabbed him, doing so intending to kill him and she said as much as she was stabbing him. It is only mere good fortune she didn’t succeed.’

 

McKenzie told him: ‘You are going to have this. I am going to put you out of your misery, I’m going to kill you.

‘I told him not to come over or we would end up arguing. I just wanted him to stay away and leave me alone. He’s better off dead.

‘I tried to kill him to put him out of his misery.’

 

The court heard how ten days before the attack, McKenzie’s mood had changed after drinking heavily.

 

She produced a knife telling her victim ‘do it, we can go together’ before he disarmed her.

 

The following day she had no memory of the attack.

 

McKenzie was jailed for 11 years, with a further three on licence after Judge James O’Mahony ruled she posed a danger to the public because she had previously attacked a former husband and a police officer by kicking him between the legs.
