1. >A mum threw a knife at a man in the street after he “pinched her and asked her for sex”. Angelika Struckaja twice hurled the weapon at her drinking companion, striking him in the leg with the blade, as their ill-fated get together descended into violence.

   >The incident marked the second occasion on which she has assaulted a male with a knife, having stabbed her last victim in the back. But the mum to a four-year-old son burst into tears yesterday as she was freed from prison over the latest fracas.

   >Liverpool Crown Court heard the altercation erupted while Struckaja was drinking with the complainant, named on charge sheets as Erdzsan Sabulov, at her home on Aughton Road in Birkdale on April 29 this year. The 29-year-old would subsequently give an account to a probation officer during the preparation of a pre-sentence report in which she alleged he “pinched her and asked her for sex” before hitting her, causing her to fall into a television stand, when she declined his advances.

   >Having asked Mr Sabulov to leave, Christopher Hopkins, prosecuting, described how CCTV footage, captured by cameras on a property across the street, then showed him running away from her house. Stuckaja, clad in pink clothing, was thereafter seen to throw a knife at him before picking it up from the ground and hurling it towards him for a second time.

   >Mr Hopkins detailed how Struckaja has one previous conviction with a “similar flavour” from 2020 for unlawful wounding and possession of a bladed article in a public place. The ECHO reported at the time that she was also spared jail on this occasion, having stabbed a man in the back, as she was due to give birth within days of her sentencing.

   >Assisted by a Lithuanian interpreter, Struckaja appeared without legal representation during Thursday’s hearing. Having been remanded in custody since her appearance before magistrates on May 1, she told the court she was “worried about her child” as a result of their separation during her time behind bars.

   >The heavily pregnant mum-to-be was seen celebrating with a cigarette on Derby Square after being handed a suspended prison sentence by a judge.

   >Sentencing, Judge Anil Murray said: “I am going to sentence you on the basis that what you say about the background is true. This was a dangerous weapon. This was impulsive, short lived and in excessive self-defence. It is aggravated by your record.

   >”The pre-sentence report postulates that your reaction was an excessive trauma response. That is why it would be unjust to pass a prison sentence. You have a good work ethic. Your mother died last year. This was a one-off in drink. You have had a difficult time in prison.

   >Struckaja became tearful as she learned her fate and replied “yes, I agree”. She was also told to complete 100 hours of unpaid work, a rehabilitation activity requirement of up to 20 days and a programme requirement.

   Staggering case and sentence for someone facing their second conviction for stabbing someone

2. A real femme fatale “The incident marked the second occasion on which she has assaulted a male with a knife, having stabbed her last victim in the back. “

3. The current Justice Secretary (a woman) does not believe women should receive custodial sentences.

   The belief that women should not go to prison is literally government [policy ](https://www.gov.uk/government/news/womens-justice-board-begins-plans-to-send-fewer-women-to-prison)now. No longer just a subjective double standard. Actual policy.

   We now live in a world where there is literally a totally different consequence for crime if you have bobs.

   Good init.

4. “I am going to sentence you on the basis that what you say about the background is true.”

   She has previously stabbed people. Smokes while pregnant. Has been in the UK for more than 5 years and still needs an interpreter.

   Perhaps trusting her account is not the wisest choice??? 3rd stabbing she is going to use her special needs child as an excuse, isn’t she……

5. Also: “mum to a four-year-old son previously stabbed another victim in the back”….

6. Is it socially acceptable to call for her deportation?

7. Seems like a violent person.

   Next time she might kill someone.

8. Pregnant and smoking and accused of knife crime… She is well on her way to becoming a Scouser.

9. A woman who fights back against threat of sexual violence is guilty of no crime. Our justice system is actually working, for once.

10. [removed]

11. They need to deport her before she murders someone here.
