A 53-year-old
woman who blindfolded her ex-husband before stabbing him in the back has been
jailed for 12 years.
Andrea Santon
attacked the man after luring him back to her home in Lancaster, Lancashire,
following a night out in June.
She covered the
man's eyes after the pair had sex and said that she had a surprise for him. She
then proceded to stab him in the back with a kitchen knife.
The man, who has
not been named, was able to fight her off and phone emergency services. He was
found by police after he collapsed in the road.
Stanton, who had
written a number of suicide notes before the attack, was arrested nearby with
two knives. One was used to attack the victim and the other was used on herself
in an attempt to take her own life.
Santon was
convicted of attempted murder by a jury at Preston Crown Court today. Tom Snape, senior crown prosecutor for CPS
North West said: 'Andrea Santon carried out a premeditated attack on her
ex-partner after luring him back to her address following an amicable night
out.
