Emma-Jayne Magson must continue serving her 17-year sentence for killing her boyfriend
A woman who stabbed her boyfriend to death during an argument has had a second appeal against her murder conviction thrown out.
She had previously alleged that Mr Knight had been strangling her, so she stabbed him with a steak knife in self-defence. He said: "There was no evidence or suggestion that it was any part of [Magson's] thinking that [Mr Knight] was a trespasser at the time of the stabbing. "We all hope that this is now behind us so that we can grieve and cherish his memory without this being in the shadows."Magson stabbed Mr Knight in the chest with a steak knife in the early hours of 27 March 2016.
The couple then got a taxi home but started arguing, and the driver asked them to get out after Magson was seen kicking out at Mr Knight. After delivering the blow to his heart, Magson is said to have left him for about half an hour before calling an ambulance.
