Dying model plea 'he stabbed me'
Amy Leigh Barnes had been stabbed at least nine times
A young model dialled 999 as she lay dying, pleaded for help and said her boyfriend had "stabbed her to death", a court has heard.
Amy Leigh Barnes' father found her in a pool of blood at her grandmother's house in Bolton, Greater Manchester.
The 19-year-old's boyfriend, Ricardo Morrison, appearing at Manchester Crown Court, denies murder.
His mother, Pc Melda Wilks, of Rubery, West Midlands, also appeared in court to deny assisting her son.
The court heard that Ms Barnes, a part-time model and actress, had been killed with a kitchen knife in November last year.
Stuart Driver, prosecuting, recounted her desperate plea to the operator at the end of her 999 call.
'Penetrated liver'
"I'm dying. He's stabbed me to death. I'm dying. Please help me."
The operator asked who had stabbed her, and she said, 'My boyfriend', the court heard.
He said Ms Barnes had been slashed across the face and she had five wounds to her chest and four to her back, several of which had penetrated her liver.
At this point the defendant turned his back and ran towards the cells.
The hearing was temporarily adjourned.
Earlier the prosecutor told the court the couple had been together for around a year.
Her father turned up, opened the front door and found his daughter at the bottom of the stairs, a pool of blood beneath her - you can imagine his reaction
Stuart Driver, prosecuting
Mr Morrison had moved from his native Birmingham to live with Ms Barnes, first at her mother's house, then to share her grandmother's terraced home in Moss Street in Farnworth.
But there were serious problems in their relationship, the jury was told.
At 0100 BST on the day she was killed, Ms Barnes sent a text message from her mobile phone to Mr Morrison, saying, "You are out of my life for good", the court heard.
Later her grandmother left the house for work, leaving the young couple alone in the house.
Morrison, it is alleged, then attacked Ms Barnes, punching her, spraying an aerosol in her face and then hurting her arm in a door.
He then left to go into Bolton, locking her in the house.
While he was out "angry" text messages resumed between them, with Ms Barnes telling him that it was over.
'Evidence destroyed'
She rang her mother in tears, and it was agreed her father would come and pick her up.
Two minutes after that call ended she dialled 999 to say she had been "stabbed to death".
"Soon after she was attacked, her father turned up, opened the front door and found his daughter at the bottom of the stairs, a pool of blood beneath her.
"You can imagine his reaction, his panic," Mr Driver said.
Police and paramedics arrived and Ms Barnes was taken to the Royal Bolton Infirmary where she died three hours later.
Mr Morrison's 49-year-old mother, of Hollyhill Road, Rubery, is accused of assisting her son, by allowing evidence to be destroyed following the killing.

Honey trap girl guilty of murder
Shakilus was kicked and punched and struck with a baseball bat
A teenage girl has been convicted of murdering a boy of 16 who was lured to his death in a "honey trap" plot.
Shakilus Townsend was stabbed to death by members of a gang in Thornton Heath, south London, last July after being lured to flats by Samantha Joseph, 16.
Joseph admitted persuading Shakilus to go to the flats but said she only thought he would be beaten up.
The girl's boyfriend Danny McLean, 18, was among six other teenagers also convicted of murder at the Old Bailey.
Brothers Tyrell Ellis, 19, and Don-Carlos Ellis, 18, from Thornton Heath, were convicted of murder, together with Andrew Johnson-Haynes, 18, from Croydon, south London.
Andre Thompson and Michael Akinfenwa, both aged 17 and both of Norwood, south London, were also convicted.
As Shakilus, from Deptford, south-east London, lay dying, he called out for his mother saying: "I don't want to die", the Old Bailey was told during the trial.
TEENAGE DEATHS

Lovestruck boy 'lured to his death'
Brian Altman QC, prosecuting, said Shakilus had been seeing the girl for six weeks.
He told the jury: "Shakilus had described her to his mother as 'beautiful' and he said to her that he was in love with her, he was even saying to his mother that he wanted to marry her, that she was his future wife."
But Joseph was still in love with McLean, who had dumped her, and "would have done anything to get him back," said Mr Altman.
"He [Danny McLean] had come to learn of her deception and by way of recompense she agreed to set up the hapless Shakilus Townsend in a honey trap with a lethal and tragic twist," he said.
On 3 July 2008, Joseph lured Shakilus to a cul-de-sac so he could be ambushed by the gang, Mr Altman said.
As the pair arrived in the area, the attackers were waiting for him and chased him as she kept in touch with McLean by mobile phone.
Shakilus was kicked and punched and struck with a baseball bat.
He died the next day as a result of a wound to his chest, which had "raked" across his liver causing a massive loss of blood, the court heard.
The defendants belonged to a gang in south London
Joseph later set about trying to "rub out" any trace of her relationship with Shakilus, deleting his online Bebo account and telling friends to erase his number from their phones.
In court she admitted agreeing to lead him into the ambush so he could get beaten up but said she did not realise he would be seriously hurt.
After the convictions, Shakilus's mother Nicola Dyer, 34, said: "He was popular and always had girlfriends, but the girl on trial was different.
"He really cared about her and I can't understand how she could have callously set him up and lured him to his death."
During the trial, McLean, from Thornton Heath, admitted under cross-examination that he routinely carried a knife, claiming he needed it to protect himself and his family.
Shakilus had himself been in trouble in the past for weapon possession and robbery and had been to see his youth offending team on the day of his death - but his mother said he was turning his life around.
The defendants will be sentenced at a later date.

Murder hunt over body in laneway
The man's body was found in a laneway at Upper Edward Street
A murder inquiry is under way after a man's body was discovered in Newry.
He was found in a laneway at Upper Edward Street in the city at about 0035 BST on Tuesday.
The city's mayor John Feehan, SDLP, said the victim is believed to have been aged in his 20s or 30s and may have been "severely beaten".
It is believed that the man was attacked as he walked along a pathway. His body was found in an alley behind Newry's swimming pool.
Mr Feehan said: "I've spoken to the chief inspector this morning and at this stage we don't believe it to be drug-related in any form," he said.
Police want to speak to anyone who was in the area of Upper Edward Street, Monaghan Street or Railway Avenue on Monday night.
They want to talk to anyone who saw an altercation or disturbance in those areas. No details about the identity of the man have been released.

7/7 mermorial
Very sad day today as it is the 7/7 memorial. It has been 4 years today since those poor innocent people lost their lives because of some stupid scum bag terrorists have a read.
Prince Charles has paid tribute to the families who lost loved ones in the 7 July 2005 London bombings, at a memorial in Hyde Park.
He said that their bravery "offered us hope for the future".
Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Minister for London Tessa Jowell joined the Prince of Wales at the unveiling of the 52 steel pillars.
Fifty-two people died after suicide bombers detonated explosives on board three Underground trains and a bus.
The victims' relatives at the unveiling said the permanent memorial, between the park's Lover's Walk and Park Lane, was a "fitting tribute".
Architects Carmody Groarke said the 3.5m (11.5ft) tall stainless steel pillars should convey the random nature of the loss of life - how it could have been anyone travelling in London that day.
The location of the memorial
Mrs Jowell said that each column represented "a unique person and a unique grief."
She added: "Each one casts a shadow just as they do - each one standing tall and proud just as they did, and each one will in an individual way absorb and reflect light just as they did."
Director Kevin Carmody said the firm worked closely with the families through monthly liaison meetings to ensure the finished product was what they required.
"It took a long time to get to the strong ideas like symbolising the single and collective loss of life," he said.
It's an amazing tribute to my mum and the 51 others who were so viciously and brutally taken from us
Saba Mozakka
Families key to memorial design
He said 26 of the stelae were grouped to represent those killed on the Underground near King's Cross.
Other clusters represented Tube bombing victims at Aldgate and Edgware Road, with the remainder symbolic of those who died on the number 30 bus in Tavistock Square.
"Hopefully people will have an almost magnetic propulsion towards it," said Mr Carmody.
He said it could be viewed from afar as a single entity but that as they moved closer, people would discover the significance of the four groupings and individual columns.
Though the stelae are anonymous, they are inscribed with the date, time and location of the bombings they represent.
"We're very happy that the families are pleased with the result," Mr Carmody added.
A representative of the bereaved families' group said: "The memorial is a fitting tribute, honouring the 52 lives lost on 7 July 2005, ensuring that the world will never forget them.
"It represents the enormity of our loss, both on a personal and public level.
'Horrific events'
"We hope this memorial will speak to visitors so they can understand the impact of these horrific events."
The stelae are grouped to represent those killed in each of the four sites

Thanks to the open casting process used to make the columns, with molten stainless-steel being poured into sand moulds, each one has a unique finish.
Saba Mozakka, 28, from Finchley, north London, was one of six family members to sit on a liaison board during the memorial's design.
Her mother, Behnaz Mozakka, 47, a biomedical officer, was killed on a Piccadilly line train near King's Cross station while commuting to work.
Ms Mozakka described the memorial as "truly incredible".
"I'm very happy. It's very poignant," she said.
"It's an amazing tribute to my mum and the 51 others who were so viciously and brutally taken from us."
Prince Charles and Mrs Jowell addressed the unveiling ceremony before the names of the victims were read out and a minute's silence was observed.
The prince then laid a wreath on behalf of the nation while the Duchess of Cornwall left a floral tribute for the families.
In addition to the prime minister and London Mayor Boris Johnson, Conservative leader David Cameron, Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg, former London Mayor Ken Livingstone and senior figures from the emergency services were present.
Families praise 7 July memorial
The memorial features one pillar for each of those killed in the bombings
Families of the victims of the 7 July 2005 London bombings have praised a permanent memorial created in their honour in Hyde Park.
Fifty-two people died and hundreds more were injured when four suicide bombers detonated backpacks at separate locations on public transport.
The memorial consists of 52 stainless steel pillars, each 3.5m (11.5ft) tall, grouped to represent the four attacks.
Members of the bereaved families group have said it is a "fitting tribute".
A plaque alongside the pillars - described as stelae - lists the names of those killed in the bombings.
'Enormity of loss'
A group representative said the memorial - close to the park's Lover's Walk - would ensure they were never forgotten.
"It represents the enormity of our loss, both on a personal and public level.
It's an amazing tribute to my mum and the 51 others who were so viciously and brutally taken from us

"We hope this memorial will speak to visitors, so they can understand the impact of these horrific events."
The bombers struck aboard Tube trains near Edgware Road, King's Cross and Aldgate and on the number 30 bus at Tavistock Square, all in central London.
Behnaz Mozakka, 47, a biomedical officer, was killed on a Piccadilly line train near King's Cross station while commuting to work.
Her daughter Saba Mozakka, one of six family members to sit on a liaison board during the memorial's design process, described the finished product as "truly incredible".
"I'm very happy. It's very poignant," said the 28-year-old from Finchley, north London.
"It's an amazing tribute to my mum and the 51 others who were so viciously and brutally taken from us."
Ms Mozakka said she hoped people would feel passionate about the memorial when it is officially unveiled on Tuesday.
The open casting process used to create the columns means that although each is made using an identical mould, the finished product is unique.
Each features an inscription bearing the date, time and location of the bombing it represents.

David Cameron leader apologizes for party’s anti-gay past
At last someone who cares!
David Cameron, the leader of the Conservatives in the British Parliament, has apologized for his party’s role in passing anti-gay legislation in the 1980’s, telling an LGBT pride gathering his party has changed when it comes to LGBT issues. If Labor Party losses in recent elections are any indication, Cameron could become Britain’s next prime minister. The Christian Institute reports:
Conservative leader David Cameron says his party was wrong to support Section 28 – a law banning local authorities from promoting homosexuality in schools.
Section 28 was introduced in the 1980s to protect children from inappropriate resources being pushed by councils controlled by what was dubbed at the time ‘the loony left’. It has since been repealed.
Speaking at a Conservative fundraiser to mark a gay pride event taking place in London this weekend, Mr Cameron told guests that his party’s attitudes towards ‘gay rights’ had changed.
He said: “Yes, we may have sometimes been slow and yes, we may have made mistakes, including Section 28, but the change has happened.”
He went on to say: “One of the things I was most proud of doing was standing up at that first party conference and saying commitment to marriage was an important thing whether it’s between a man and a woman, a man and a man or a woman and a woman.
“I am proud I said it and I am proud of my party for supporting me.”

Repulsive piece of human waste

Jason Middleton has been placed on the sex offenders register
A man has been jailed for four years for raping a schoolgirl who later gave birth to his child.
Jason Middleton, 19, from Grangemouth, attacked the youngster while he was supposed to be looking after her.
The victim had her baby girl adopted and has tried to commit suicide a number of times.
Middleton had admitted raping the youngster on one occasion in West Lothian in September 2005. He has been placed on the sex offenders register.
He will also be supervised for two years after his release.
Judge Rita Rae QC described the case as "tragic" and told the High Court in Glasgow that it was with "regret" that a jail sentence had to be imposed.
She told Middleton: "You would appear to have fairly entrenched views on violence and about drug and alcohol abuse.
"You have used this to excuse your actions and you also appear to blame the complainer for instigating sexual contact."
'Highly dysfunctional'
Middleton, from Kerse Road, Grangemouth, initially told the police he had not had any sexual contact with the girl.
DNA was later taken from the accused and the child confirming that he was the father.
The court was told that Middleton, who was considered to be at a high risk of re-offending, was brought up in a "desperate, depressing and highly dysfunctional family situation".
Richard Goddard, defending, asked for an alternative to jail, adding that Middleton would benefit from "considerable psychological input".
Judge Rae said that due to Middleton's attitude, the effect on the girl and the absence of any other realistic options, prison had to be imposed.

Convicted killers still at large
This is quite scary lol!
Hundreds of offenders who should be in prison remain at large
Nearly 1,000 offenders who should have been sent back to prison are still at large, according to Justice Secretary Jack Straw.
They include 19 convicted murderers who have not been returned to custody.
Also free are rapists and people convicted of manslaughter who were on licence from jails in England and Wales between January 1999 and March 2009.
The Conservatives said the figures would shock the public and accused the government of putting people at risk.
They blamed the government's Labour's "reckless" early release scheme and "lax approach" to probation.
Figures published by the National Offender Management Services (NOMS) show 935 offenders whose licences had been revoked had not been returned to jail as they should have been.
As well as murderers, those still free include two people convicted of manslaughter and 26 others convicted of sexual offences, including 12 for rape or attempted rape.
FREE TO COMMIT MURDER

Released on licence after serving part of an eight-year sentence for violent crimes, the 23-year-old drug user was accused of further offences, and should have been recalled to jail.
But blunders by the probation service meant he was free to walk the streets - and, with an accomplice, stab Gabriel Ferez and Laurent Bonomo to death.
The BBC's Home Affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said licences might be revoked if offenders regularly failed to attend probation or other appointments connected with their licence conditions.
Offenders might also be recalled for failing to live at an address approved by the probation service, or if they were suspected of or charged with further offences.
Mr Straw said the recall system was working well, with less than 1% of recalled offenders not returned to jail between 1999 and 2008.
"Ten times more offenders are being recalled to prison each year than before 1997 as a result of our tough new recall regime," he said.
"Only about 10,000 offenders were recalled in the 15 years between 1984 and 1999 - when our new measures were implemented - and the old system was cumbersome and court based.
"Since then, 92,000 offenders have been recalled.
"Of those recalled between 1999 and June 2008, just 0.7% of offenders have not been apprehended.
"But we are far from complacent and recognise that the system has to be strengthened further, not least in respect of those serious offenders who remain at large."
'Lost track'
But Shadow Justice Secretary Dominic Grieve said: "The whole point of releasing prisoners on licence is that they can be monitored and returned to prison if they commit a breach.
"The public will be shocked that the government has lost track of almost 1,000 criminal fugitives - including murderers, paedophiles and sex offenders.
Ministers claim these offenders can be recalled at any time, but worryingly, some have managed to evade justice for up to a quarter of a century
David Howarth, Liberal Democrat Justice spokesman
"Labour's reckless early release scheme and lax approach to probation is putting the public at greater risk. Cuts to frontline probation services will only make this situation even worse."
The Ministry of Justice also confirmed a further 19 offenders whose licences had been revoked between 1984 and 1999 were also not sent back to prison - though procedures were different in this period, said our correspondent.
Liberal Democrat justice spokesman David Howarth demanded ministers come to parliament to explain the situation.
He said: "Rather than slipping these figures out hoping no one will notice, ministers should come to Parliament and explain why nearly a thousand recalled prisoners are being allowed to run free.
"The government's failed prison policy, which has left our prisons bursting at the seams, has led to thousands of prisoners being let out early.
"Ministers claim these offenders can be recalled at any time, but worryingly, some have managed to evade justice for up to a quarter of a century."
Licence criteria
The Criminal Justice Act 1991, which only applies to offences committed before 4 April 2005, provides for the automatic release of prisoners at the halfway point of their sentence for those serving up to four years.
The Act also provides for automatic release at the two-thirds point of the sentence for those serving four years or more, subject to probation supervision until the three quarter point of sentence.
The Criminal Justice Act 2003, which applies to offences committed on or after 4 April 2005, provides for the automatic release of prisoners at the halfway point, with probation supervision for those serving 12 months or more until the end of their sentence.
The data on recalled offenders was published following an audit of the work of police, probation areas and the United Kingdom Border Agency.
It was carried out by NOMS, which has responsibility for licence revocation policy.
As part of the audit, NOMS wrote to each police force and Probation Area in England and Wales with a list for each area of all offenders who have been recalled but have yet to be returned to custody.
'Open justice'
Police and probation officers were asked to check the list and examine whether some offenders might be removed - because, for example, they had been returned to custody under a different name or had died.
They were also asked to renew their efforts efforts to return these individuals into custody.
The Ministry of Justice spokeswoman said that this was the first time the government has published this information.
"It is part of a commitment to open justice and ensuring communities have as much information as possible about the Criminal Justice System," she said.
Following the audit, the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) has written to all police forces in England and Wales, asking them to take priority action to arrest and return to custody all those offenders on the list who had previously been convicted of sexual or violent offences.
Hundreds of offenders who should be in prison remain at large
Nearly 1,000 offenders who should have been sent back to prison are still at large, according to Justice Secretary Jack Straw.
They include 19 convicted murderers who have not been returned to custody.
Also free are rapists and people convicted of manslaughter who were on licence from jails in England and Wales between January 1999 and March 2009.
The Conservatives said the figures would shock the public and accused the government of putting people at risk.
They blamed the government's Labour's "reckless" early release scheme and "lax approach" to probation.
Figures published by the National Offender Management Services (NOMS) show 935 offenders whose licences had been revoked had not been returned to jail as they should have been.
As well as murderers, those still free include two people convicted of manslaughter and 26 others convicted of sexual offences, including 12 for rape or attempted rape.

The girl the world forgot!
Lying on her bed, the memory still running through her head.
Trying to forget, she cant get rid of the sickening scent.
Her body broken and bent.
Her one and only protector, she had been betrayed by the one who was supposed to be there.
Covered in blood, emotionally crippled, confused, scared, alone.
She climbs into the shower, she's numb, to numb to feel the frosty wind blowing across her naked body, numb to the freezing water running down her body.
She punches the wall trying to feel something, anything. She gets out the shower walks into her room, crys, she wants to die, she wants someone to care, this pain she can not bare alone.
No one to help, no one to care. In this cruel world alone, no place to call home. The girl the world forgot.
She goes unnoticed, her eyes out of focus. Her stare cold and blank. Her heart is frozen, unloved, unwanted. He will notice her just once and never again, she will notice him forever, constantly on her mind.
His voice speaks to her whispering comforting words, untrue, imagined, hopelesly devoted, eternally destracted, delirious.
