A woman who stabbed her ex-husband and removed part of his intestines after they had sex has walked free from court (You can read the story here). Dalya Saeed, 35, had said she acted in self-defence during the gruesome incident involving 31-year-old Bilal Miah. A jury deliberated for two-and-a-half hours before finding her not guilty of attempted murder and wounding with intent. The 35-year-old burst into tears and bowed her head when the jury announced its verdicts, the Birmingham Mail reports.

The court had heard previously that 31-year-old Bilal Miah had met Ms Saeed when they worked in a restaurant. They had a daughter together but split up in 2013 and he had remarried. Taxi driver Mr Miah said that on October 19, 2015, his ex-wife had phoned him and asked him to come to her home to discuss their daughter. He said they had consensual sex but had then argued, the court heard. They then started to have sex again but she suddenly stabbed him twice in the stomach before taking hold of his intestines and pulling them, jurors were told. He managed to get out of the flat but she continued the attack in the street, the court heard. Ms Saeed said in her evidence that she had acted in self-defence.
"I fully believed it was going to be my final night,” she said.
"I was just looking for something to cut. I stabbed him twice."
She said she fled to a storage area and that Mr Miah had attacked her with a wooden stick.
