Guy seems alright, but the gf seems crazy

BBC News - Robert Wilson jailed for biting off girlfriend's nose

Quote:
Burnley Crown Court heard Ms Ireland, who is still in a relationship with Wilson, awoke at her home in Hapton Road, Padiham, with the defendant's fingers down her throat.

She said that she felt an "excruciating pain" as Wilson bit off most of her nose.

She and her 14-year-old daughter escaped the house as Wilson took hold of a large carving knife in pursuit. Wilson, who was naked, then fled to nearby woods, the court heard.

The next day he entered a house in Simonstone and threatened the owner with the knife, asking for her car keys. He dressed in some of the woman's clothes but crashed her car while trying to reverse it.

Armed officers later found him in Clough Lane. He was told to drop the knife but responded by shouting "come on" and making a sound like a police siren.

One officer twice fired a Taser at him, in the chest and back, but Wilson continued to approach him and they grappled on the floor. He was finally detained when other officers arrived.

The court heard Wilson had been in a relationship with Ms Ireland for four months. He had been released from a life term in prison, resulting from convictions for wounding, by a parole board a year earlier.

Ms Ireland's nose was reconstructed after the attack using skin from her forehead.

Gillian Crossley, defending, said Ms Ireland continued to visit Wilson in prison and was "supportive of him".

Ms Crossley added that Wilson was a man who needed help rather than punishment.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiight, he's just a scared little puppy that needs love.

Quote:
He was told he would not be released until he was deemed to no longer be a risk to public safety.
That'll be when he's in a body bag.

I kept waiting for the article to mention drugs or at least alcohol, but it never did. If the guy did all of that sober, HOLY CARP!

She's obviously as nuts as he is. Makes me sad for the 14 year old. I suspect she's probably a lost cause as well.
