Jealous wife jailed for stabbing woman pregnant with husband's child

Jealous wife Andrea Dean, 40, who was desperate to have a baby girl was jailed for 10 years today for repeatedly stabbing her husband’s pregnant ex-lover.
She confronted 37-weeks pregnant Stacey Jenkins outside a primary school gate and stabbed her seven times with a 10cm fish filleting knife.
Mum-to-be Stacey,28, suffered wounds to her abdomen, leg, hand and arm as Dean rounded on her for carrying her husband’s unborn child.
But the wounds didn’t penetrate deep enough to the womb to threaten the life of Stacey’s unborn baby.
Dean had discovered on Facebook that Ms Jenkins was carrying her husband Christopher's baby, Liverpool Crown was told.
Dean, who has three sons, was desperate to have a daughter and was incensed when she learnt the victim was pregnant with her husband’s child, which was due to be a girl.
Miraculously, Ms Jenkins and her unborn child survived and the baby girl, named Hope, was born at full term three weeks later.
Dean, from Liverpool, had earlier pleaded guilty to wounding with intent and attempted child destruction.
Her “weak” husband, Christopher, also 40, was sentenced to 30 months after pleading guilty to assisting an offender, perverting the course of justice and aiding and abetting his wife.
The court heard he had driven his wife to the confrontation, although he did not know she was armed with the knife, and afterwards hid the weapon and gave her a false alibi.
Jailing the couple, Recorder Clement Goldstone, QC, said Dean had made no secret of her animosity towards Ms Jenkins.

Mrs Dean had already been blessed with 3 healthy sons that should have been enough for her. Some women/couples do not even get the chance to have one child! What she did to that poor defenceless women who was carrying that innocent baby who did not ask to concieved is just despicable. x
