Husband who wanted more sex is stabbed by wife with turkey fork
A WOMAN punched her husband and stabbed him with a fork after rowing about sex.
She was the so overcome with guilt she turned herself in.
Cassandra Ogden, 27, of Springfield, Sowerby Bridge, admitted the attack after she had been for a night out with husband Kenneth Haigh, the father of their two children.
Vince O'Malley, prosecuting, told Calderdale magistrates: "They returned from the night and had sexual intercourse. Then he wanted some more. She refused and they started to argue.
"They both went downstairs. Ogden punched him in the head and he pinned her to a chair to stop her attacking him.
"She then went into the kitchen and picked a large turkey fork before approaching Mr Haigh and stabbing his shoulder.
"After the attack she phoned police to say she had assaulted her husband."
The pair had made up and returned to bed by the time police arrived, but despite Mr Haigh not wanting to press charges, Ogden was arrested.
Julie Brimble, defending, said: "This is a very sad case.
"She was abused by someone when she was 11 and that person is about to be released from prison. It has made her very depressed.
"But she accepts she suffers from anger-management issues."
Ogden pleaded guilty to assault and will be sentenced on June 6.
