UK: Sisters jailed for manslaughter

Article here. Excerpt:

"Two 'despicable' sisters were jailed for manslaughter after one of them stabbed her boyfriend and the other let him bleed to death. Samantha Brown, 20, knifed Dean Darvill, 23, in the groin after he accused her of having a lesbian affair.

She fled the scene barefoot after stabbing the maintenance worker, leaving him bleeding to death on the floor.
...
The couple went to Toni's house with another friend to spend the evening drinking, the court heard. Samantha went upstairs with the friend for several hours, and at 1am Mr Darvill discovered them in 'a compromising position', police sources said.

A furious row erupted during which he accused them of having an affair, and Samantha picked up a carving knife from the kitchen. She plunged it into her boyfriend's upper thigh, severing several arteries, before running away. As Mr Darvill stumbled and fell to the floor, he pleaded 'get me an ambulance'.

But mother-of-two Toni refused, and instead made an attempt to bandage him up.
...
'Samantha decided to settle a drunken argument by using violence against the person she was supposed to love.

'Toni's failure to get help for Dean as he lay dying on her doorstep is incomprehensible.'"
