The girlfriend, who was raped during sex, killed her boyfriend single-handedly. 31-year-old Hayley Keating stabbed her boyfriend to death with a kitchen knife. She is also a mother of two children. Her boyfriend, Matthew Wormleyton, is 45. The incident took place in the morning of May 14. She is now charged with murder. At the same time, the woman has not openly admitted that she killed her boyfriend. Her home is in Chilton Dormer, near Yeovil, England.
She revealed to the court that she was often abused in the bedroom. She complained that her boyfriend often strangled her during sex, and then she lost consciousness. She also claimed that her boyfriend is a man who likes rough sex. Hayley told the court that Matthew regularly suffocates her in bed, sometimes with her hands and sometimes with a belt, and loses consciousness. But one day when she regained consciousness, she told her partner that it felt like rape.
On the night of his death, they had a fight. Under the influence of alcohol and drugs, she took a knife from the kitchen drawer and threw it at him. The knife went four inches deep into his chest. Meanwhile, she said she could not recall the incident. However, police have a call record of her calling 999 that night. In it, she can be heard crying that she stabbed her boyfriend and that he will die if he doesn’t come soon.
The police arrived in the morning and took the boyfriend to the hospital, but he was already dead. Hayley said she didn’t mean to kill him, she threw the knife at him when she got angry. However, the postmortem examination revealed that the cause of death was stabbing. However, she says she only threw the knife in his direction and did not stab him. She says she doesn’t know how he got injured.
So the jury is now looking into whether she threw the knife, or whether she stabbed him in the chest. How the knife got 10cm deep into the chest baffles the jury. The trial of the case is still ongoing.
