A-level student slays 'zombie boyfriend'

Every week the Zombie Cookbook brings you new evidence of the impending zombie-apocalypse.

An A-level student stabbed her boyfriend to death following recent changes in his behavior, a court has heard.

The 19-year-old student denies slaying her 22-year-old boyfriend at her home in Wales. She allegedly stabbed him in the eye with a steak knife. The court heard the pair had argued after a female colleague of the boyfriend had bitten him. The suspect told police she took the knife from a kitchen drawer to "scare him off" following erratic changes in his behavior.

Accidentally wounded
The pair had spent part of the day drinking before the victim went to work at a local supermarket. They met up again later and met with friends at a local bar in the town center. The prosecutor said: "They were in a pub where the victim met a colleague who he had claimed accidentally bit him earlier. She seemed embarrassed even though the victim laughed it off and made very little of the incident."

'Changed behavior'
"She apologized for biting him and offered to buy him some drinks." The suspect will later refer to this as the start of the incident. "The suspect claimed that when the victim attacked her he was aggressive and angry – sweating and mumbling incoherently." The court heard that a taxi driver who drove the couple to her home thought they were 'a lively couple'.

She claimed she had acted in self-defense after her boyfriend had attacked her and bit her thumb. The court heard she told the emergency operator: "I did it in self-defense. He's my boyfriend but he attacked me and I didn't know what to do."

The prosecutor said: "The wound penetrated his brain and he died shortly afterwards. There was no justification or excuse for Katherine McGrath taking hold of what was in effect a weapon - the steak knife - and using it to cause his death."

The student was arrested and taken to a police station where she was told her boyfriend had died. She told officers: "My boyfriend pushed me to the floor twice. He started biting me and I didn't know what to do. I just wanted him to get away from me. I love him."

The case continues.
