Cries in court as mum is jailed for life over stabbing

A mum has been given a life sentence after stabbing a vulnerable man to death.

Kayleigh Smart knifed 34-year-old Liam Collier nearly a dozen times during a schizophrenic episode.

Echo reports the two had earlier exchanged "flirty" messages on Facebook and shared a lengthy video call before the victim paid for his killer to take a taxi to his flat on Sherlock Avenue in Haydock.

They then drank vodka together before she launched into the horrifying attack, delivering a series of fatal blows with the weapon before he fell from a first floor window.
