A HAVERFORDWEST woman who stabbed a woman she was in a relationship with and ended up being Tasered by police has been jailed for nine months on Wednesday, June 22.

But 22-year-old Amy Rees was told she would be released immediately because of the time she had spent in jail waiting to be sentenced.

Rees, who stays at a refuge when not in jail, admitted assaulting Ceri Elizabeth Lee causing her actual bodily harm, criminal damage, possessing a sharp article in a public place and possessing a small amount of ecstasy.

Stephen Rees, prosecuting, told Swansea crown court how a row developed between the two women at Miss Lee’s home in Goodwick on January 30.

Rees thought she was texting a former partner and grabbed hold of her mobile telephone before throwing it against a wall in the living room and smashing it.

Rees then took hold of a large two pronged kitchen fork and told Miss Lee: “I’m going to kill you. Your kids will find you dead on the sofa.”

But instead of attacking Miss Lee Rees began stabbing her own hand.

Miss Lee left to get help from a neighbour, but without success. When she returned Rees pushed her against a wall and stabbed her in the leg with the fork.

Rees then left, but told Miss Lee: “Don’t think this is over. I’m coming back to kill you.”

Mr Rees said Rees then sent a text message to a friend, Joshua Stephens, in which she again said she would kill Miss Lee.

Mr Stephens then telephoned Rees and was still on the telephone when police officers arrived.

PC Eleri Rees took over the conversation and persuaded Rees to meet her in a Tesco car park.

When they met the officer tasered Rees to prevent her from stabbing herself.

Mr Rees said Rees already had a long record for violence, which included eight assaults on police officers.

Her barrister, Carina Hughes, said she accepted her relationship with Miss Lee was now over.

Rees, she said, had had difficulties with drugs and alcohol but was trying to overcome them.

Judge Mr Justice Knowles said Rees’ behaviour could have had very serious consequences.

But he wished her good luck in her fight against drugs and alcohol.

Mr Justice Knowles also issued a restraining order banning Rees from going to Goodwick or contacting Miss Lee.
