A nurse who performed on Britain’s Got Talent was stabbed more than 70 times by her former soldier boyfriend in an “utterly terrifying” attack, a court has heard. The Jamaican-born defendant, 41, has admitted manslaughter but denies murder, claiming depression impaired his mental function. Glasgow said: “Her throat had been slashed and she had been repeatedly stabbed to the right side of her face and her neck. Since then, he has been given treatment on a number of occasions and diagnosed with bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and depression, jurors heard. After speaking for a long time, Sylva appeared to calm down and said he was getting ready for work, the court was told.
