Not Just The Mutts That Were Inbred...

How do you do this and not face an attempted murder charge?

Breeder Hayley Stoker, 48, was stabbed in the throat on her doorstep on August 22 in 'revenge' after being blamed by the heartbroken couple for the death of their puppy.

In her interview, Rees said they were angry that the puppies were 'inbred' and her feelings had then 'boiled over'. Georgia Donoghue, prosecuting, said: 'The dog breeder told the couple the puppy had been healthy when she sold it.'

They bought three of these things - for £2,450! We aren't told what high-flying jobs they have that they can afford it, strangely enough.

It is unclear which puppy died, but Rees claimed the two other puppies were later put down.

'Claimed'..? Did no-one check? Surely someone did?

Kingston pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm with intent, inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent, and possession of a bladed article.

Rees also pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm with intent, making threats to kill, and possession of bladed articles.

Why is it not attempted murder? You stab someone in the throat and can't claim anything other than a desire to kill then, can you?  

She has 15 previous convictions for 33 offences including multiple batteries, common assaults, and assaults on police officers.

*sighs* 

John Allchurch, for Kingston, said though the defendant had not expressed any remorse during interview they were his instructions that his client was now expressing such a sentiment.

*rolls eyes* Sure, sure...

Andrew Evans, for Rees, accepted the pre-sentence report on his client made "disturbing reading". He said the defendant had grown up in care from the age of three, and later turned to drink and drugs as a result of "traumatic experiences" in childhood. He said Rees was an intelligent young lady and was seeking answers to explain why she had lived her life in the way she had so far.

Ha ha ha ha ha!
