Michael Jones stabbed his partner in the stomach after pinning her down, smothering her and forcing her to play a 바카라 사이트truth-or-dare바카라 사이트 game at knifepoint.
On 6 June 2022, Jones, 40, was sentenced at Sheffield Crown Court to 6 years바카라 사이트 imprisonment for wounding with intent.
Following the sentencing Jones바카라 사이트 original sentence was referred to the Court of Appeal under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme.
