A serial killer fanatic and mother-of-one has been jailed for life for the murder of her on-off boyfriend.
27-year-old Shay Groves was living in Hampshire, England when she slit the throat of her 25-year-old boyfriend, Frankie Fitzgerald, before stabbing him 17 times.
The incident, which occurred in July 2022, was described by the defendant as a "crime of passion."
During the trial, Winchester Crown Court heard that Groves attacked Mr Fitzgerald when she had discovered that he was messaging someone who she believed was a 13-year-old girl.
However, it was later revealed that the girl was in fact 17 years old and that Mr Fitzgerald had blocked the individual when she gave a false age.

On Groves' arrest, it was revealed that the defendant had framed pictures of serial killers on her bedroom wall, along with a collection of pagan knives and a Viking axe.
The court also heard that Groves used her knowledge of real-life serial killers to set up a false alibi, clean up the crime scene and fabricate a narrative.
A life jail term was handed down by the presiding judge following a unanimous jury verdict, a sentence that carries a minimum term of 23 years.
