Domestic Tragedy: Woman Jailed For Fatal Boyfriend Stabbing

A woman, who stabbed her younger Romanian boyfriend to death during a domestic row, has received five years for the killing.

Simone Fergus, 34, of Zenith Close, Colindale pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Raul Chiriac, 26, who suffered a single stab wound to the chest on April 15.

Wood Green Crown Court heard police were called to the home they shared at 6.00pm to reports of a stabbing.

Mr. Chiriac was rushed to a central London hospital, where he was pronounced dead later that evening.

A post-mortem examination was held three days later and gave his cause of death as haemorrhage following a stab wound penetrating the lung.

Fergus was arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder.

The court heard the pair had a turbulent relationship.

Detective Inspector Justin Howick, from the Metropolitan Police's Homicide and Major Crime Command, said: "This is a tragic case.

“I hope that Fergus' plea and sentence can bring some degree of comfort to Raul's family."
