Well, The Course Of True Love Doesn't Run Smooth, They Say...

Gillian Crossley, defending, said Ms Ireland continued to visit Wilson in prison and was "supportive of him".
A good man is hard to find, and worth hanging on to, so...

Oh:
Burnley Crown Court heard Ms Ireland, who is still in a relationship with Wilson, awoke at her home in Hapton Road, Padiham, with the defendant's fingers down her throat.

She said that she felt an "excruciating pain" as Wilson bit off most of her nose.

She and her 14-year-old daughter escaped the house as Wilson took hold of a large carving knife in pursuit. Wilson, who was naked, then fled to nearby woods, the court heard.

The next day he entered a house in Simonstone and threatened the owner with the knife, asking for her car keys. He dressed in some of the woman's clothes but crashed her car while trying to reverse it.

Armed officers later found him in Clough Lane. He was told to drop the knife but responded by shouting "come on" and making a sound like a police siren.

One officer twice fired a Taser at him, in the chest and back, but Wilson continued to approach him and they grappled on the floor. He was finally detained when other officers arrived.
Valentine's Day will be .... interesting, in that household, won't it?

"He had been released from a life term in prison, resulting from convictions for wounding, by a parole board a year earlier."

WV vicismo - is that what happens when machismo and victim syndrome meet?

The course of true love is completely missing from some people's mental SatNavs. But in this case, so is the brain of the silly cow who almost died at this psycho's hands.

A solid contender for a future Darwin Award methinks.

No Darwin award. The story makes it clear she had already had a 14 year old daughter.

It's only a mercy the nutter didn't kill the girl.

Ironically... he was headed the wrong way for Darwin. Although, to be fair, its probably not best to turn up there naked in the middle of the night. And certainly not while wearing a dress and sporting tattoos.

I'm only surprised MAPPA weren't involved in a cock-up of such proportions...

"A solid contender for a future Darwin Award methinks."

Sadly, as WoaR points out, it's too late for that. Though if they stay together, I think her life expectancy is somewhat limited...

"And certainly not while wearing a dress and sporting tattoos."

LOL!
