A Scunthorpe woman who left her husband with multiple stab wounds has been sentenced to 8.5 years in jail for Grievous Bodily Harm with intent.
Joanne Singleton, of Derrythorpe Road, Althorpe, attacked her victim, Kevin, causing 25 serious and life-threatening injuries to his hands, arms, upper body and back.
The 49 then tried to hide the weapons to cover up the crime.
Detective Inspector Kerry Bull said: “This attack could have cost Kevin his life, of which he spent a number of weeks in hospital and a number of months recovering from his injuries.
“I’d like to thank my team for the hard work and dedication they showed throughout the course of the investigation.
“I hope that today’s sentencing will provide some comfort to Kevin in knowing that Joanne has been reprimanded for her unjustifiable actions."
