A “controlling” woman who bombarded her partner with 1,200 phone calls in five days went on to stab him booze-fuelled bust up.
Victoria Louise Baugh, 33, had been disarmed three times by Andrew Wright, but she succeeded on knifing him on the fourth attempt.
As he lay bleeding on the floor, she took his mobile off him while he was dialling for an ambulance.
Mr Wright, also 33, thought he was going to die as paramedics treated him for wounds to his punctured lung, shoulder and hand.
Their relationship was “intense and volatile”, and he had previously been convicted of strangling her in a drunken row.
The pair had been going out together on-off for six years. Mr Wright left her but she tracked him down and the relationship started up again.
On June 9 they started drinking, and when they went out to the Envy nightclub inWrexham he accused her of flirting with a security guard.
They argued and Mr Wright nearly ended up in a fight with the other man.
They carried on drinking when they got home at 5am, but the argument continued and Mr Wright went upstairs to pack.
When he heard a loud bang he went downstairs to investigate and found she’d thrown the TV on the floor.
He grabbed her to try to calm her down but she scratched his face and went into the kitchen to grab a knife.
Mr Wright wrestled her to the ground and was able to throw the knife into the garden.
Baugh, 33, of Edward Street in Wrexham, then returned and went for him with another knife, but he was able to take that off her. Baugh also had a knife in her other hand, which Mr Wright managed to take off her.
But she came back at him with another blade and managed to land several blows on him. When he told her how much he was bleeding, she said she “didn’t give a f***”.
When Mr Wright fell the floor in agony and tried to phone the ambulance on his mobile, she kept grabbing at it. He eventually managed to crawl to the landline and ring 999.
At Mold Crown Court, she pleaded guilty to the attack, which Judge Niclas Parry said “could have killed him”.
The court heard she had shown remorse, and that binge drinking was at the heart of all her troubles.
Her defence barrister Andrew Green had argued she should receive a suspended sentence because she had a young daughter, but she was jailed for 12 month.
Judge Parry told her: “In such volatile circumstances, and out of control of your senses through drink, you could have killed him,
“You have been subjected to domestic violence at the hands of your victim.
“I accept that this was a case where there would have been a genuine perceived threat if no actual threat.”
