Karl Molyneaux, 53, turned his girlfriend’s life “upside down” after the attack on the night of Wednesday, March 11, which he carried out while her two teenage children were upstairs.
Molyneaux left her bleeding heavily on the floor after inflicting multiple stab wounds to her neck and arm and fled, calling police from a petrol station to confess his crime.
He has now been jailed for 13-and-a-half years after admitting attempted murder.
