Kathleen Dean aged 58 of Townsley Grove, Ashton was sentenced yesterday at Minshull Street Crown Court to four years in jail and received a lifelong restraining order against the victim after pleading guilty to assault.
The court heard that back in November last year police were called to reports that a man had been stabbed at an address on Townsley Grove in Ashton-Under-Lyne.When police arrived they discovered that a man had been stabbed in the thigh with a kitchen knife.After being stabbed he managed to lock himself in the kitchen where he phoned the police.
Detective Constable Natalie Fairhurst, of GMP’s Tameside district, said: “This was a vicious assault and it’s lucky that the outcome was not much worse. Dean used a kitchen knife as a weapon which is truly horrific and brutal.
“Dean is a dangerous individual and I hope that today’s sentence sends a clear message that this type of violent behaviour will not be tolerated, and gives Dean the time she needs to reflect on the impact of her actions.
