A woman who fatally stabbed her ‘abusive’ boyfriend in the chest following a row about a man has been jailed for over five years.
Katie Yeomans, 28, stabbed Rees Howarth once to the chest after the row erupted into violence. Both had been out drinking and taking cocaine when Mr Howarth became ‘jealous’ about another man he thought she had previously been in a relationship with.
Manchester Crown Court heard he had become ‘increasingly threatening’ and Yeomans had tried to call the emergency services before Mr Howarth took the phone from her. She then grabbed a kitchen knife before a scuffle ensued.

As she tried to leave, Mr Howarth attempted to stop her, resulting in her stabbing him in the chest, puncturing his lung. Yeomans then called her sister saying: “I think I’ve killed him.”
After her sister came over to the house, Yeomans asked her for help to move Mr Howarth to an alleyway dubbed ‘The Tracks’ behind her house. She refused, and Yeomans went on to lie to the police and Mr Howarth’s dad, saying that he had been stabbed by somebody else.
Yeomans, of Hyde, has since admitted manslaughter on the grounds of loss of self control. Today, November 8, she was jailed for five years and three months. As she was led down to the cells, members of Mr Howarth's family could be heard shouting from the public gallery: "Outrage! Absolutely disgusting!"
The court heard that Yeomans and Mr Howarth were in a relationship at the time, in which he was described by a judge as being ‘violent, volatile and emotionally abusive’.
