It’s not a great result, manslaughter. The evidence is that she had a history of domestically abusive and threatening behaviour. Her account of picking up the knife to shock and scare doesn’t ring true. She murdered him in a drunken rage.
Edited to thank everyone for pointing out that she said it was manslaughter but was convicted, rightly, of murder.
Cocaine. The brain changer. Not even once, folks. I have never seen a single positive outcome from cocaine use. Only ruined lives.
Onlyfans model and mental illness ? Say it ain’t so!
Why are people paying her money?
Like…. porn is the most widely available thing on the Internet
That’s before you consider she’s not exactly the next Scarlette Johanson
I think it’s sad the comments here are most about drugs and her doing only fans. Almost every time there’s an article posted on here about a female victim of male violence, there’s usually someone in the comments being like ‘But male victims get no attention’. And yet here’s a horrifying story about a poor young man who was killed by his partner and no one’s talking about how we need to get better at recognising and helping male abuse victims before it’s too late.
What stands out to me is that apparently, none of his friends noticed the giant red flags leading up to his murder. Or they did, but didn’t act on them? Here’s some quotes from the friends who gave evidence:
– “Ms Silk described how White had admitted to her that she had stabbed Mr Lewis in the arm just days before the fatal attack”
– “The argument continued as Mr Pike gave them a lift home from the pub. Mr Pike said that during a break in the arguing, Mr Lewis told him: ‘I’m dead when I get home.’ He went on: ‘I asked him what he meant and he repeated ‘I’m dead when I get home’. Abi said nothing.”
– “Mr Pike, who described Mr Lewis and White’s relationship as ‘toxic’, said he gave his friend his number to ring him ‘if he needed him’. He said Mr Lewis rang him at 7.54pm, just minutes before he was stabbed by White in the chest.”
– “She admitted texting her friend and saying: “He’s going to end up making me dead or in jail”.
– “She also recalled calling Sophie the Monday before the killing, very upset, and saying she was going to beat Bradley up.”
– “There came a time when Bradley called him into the gents’ toilet, where Bradley was upset and crying. Bradley said he had to get away from White, he was scared of her, but said he couldn’t leave because he thought she would kill herself.”
– “on another occasion, he rang a friend and said: “Help me Sophie, she’s trying to kill me, she’s trying to stab me, she keeps beating me up, she’s hurting me.”
– “Leigh stated how Bradley had told her White had stabbed him, and White threatened to kill her. Leigh felt Bradley and White’s relationship was toxic.”
– “Sophie said it was clear White and Bradley’s relationship was toxic and possessive White could be a “psycho”. White had stated Bradley was unfaithful to her and she wanted to kill the other woman but could not go to prison.”
– “Sophie described how an emotional Bradley called her and said White had hurt him and was really upset. Sophie said she didn’t believe White had hurt anyone else. ”
If one of your friends ever tells you they’re scared of their partner, their partner is trying to kill them, their partner is beating them up, or that they feel unable to leave in case their partner kills you or kills themselves… you need to prioritise getting your friend away from their partner immediately. As in, do not leave them alone with their partner again. If they won’t come with you, then go with them. They need an action plan to escape that relationship – the national domestic violence helpline can help with that.
If one of your friends ever tells you they stabbed their partner, they’re going to beat them up, they want to kill them (and you think they mean that in an angry way, not a jokey way obviously), and that they will either end up dead or in jail… you need to call the police, even the non emergency line, and tell them what your friend is saying and how concerned you are about them. I know it’ll seem like a huge betrayal, but your friend needs help and their partner is clearly not safe, you don’t want to live with regret if it goes too far.
The signs were there. Look out for your friends. <3
