A mother-of-two who stabbed her boyfriend and left him for dead because he texted her 'happy birthday' rather than calling her has been jailed for six years.

Janet Kearns had just turned 46 and flew into a rage when Alan Pearce, in his 60s, did not personally telephone her to wish her happy birthday, assuming he was cheating on her.

After replying 'thank you' to his text, Kearns stormed round to Mr Pearce's third floor flat in Wythenshawe, Manchester and demanded to know why he had not called her.

She then stabbed him with a six inch kitchen knife as he was calling police for help.
