A RAGING woman stabbed her lover after a booze-fuelled sex romp turned violent.

Victim Adrian Doughty said Josette Celik, 37, lunged at him with a kitchen knife with a “face you never, never forget” during a row.

He told police her expression was “kind of like Chucky” – the demonic green-eyed doll from the film franchise Child’s Play.

Jurors heard he was lucky to escape alive after being stabbed in his stomach at his flat,in Hailsham, on October 28 last year.

He said violence erupted as he was cooking them a whole chicken for dinner after a night of booze-fuelled passion.

She was arrested after Mr Houghty fled to his next-door neighbours’ home and called police.

Celik, of Hastings was “screaming, struggling, kicking out so that the officers had to restrain her” and sunk her teeth into an officer while in custody.

She claimed she was acting in self-defence but was found guilty of GBH with intent by jurors at Brighton Crown Court.

Mr Doughty told jurors Celik had come over to his flat for booze-fuelled romps the previous day.

She stayed over and they carried on drinking as he cooked them a whole chicken for dinner.

But they started rowing and violence erupted as she turned like “Chucky” and came at him with a kitchen knife at about 4pm.

Prosecutor Richard Saynor said neighbours heard the pair arguing over the course of the day, which became physical at about 4pm.

He added: “She jumped on his back and began to hit him with her hands.

“Ultimately she went into the kitchen, took a kitchen knife, returned to the lounge and then stabbed Mr Doughty.”

In a video of a police interview played to the jury, Mr Doughty said Celik came into the lounge with a knife and “a face you never, never forget”.

He said her expression was “kind of like Chucky” - an apparent reference to the Child’s Play horror movie franchise involving a doll.

He said: “She came right up to my face. She was insane.”

The prosecutor said: “We know from the police records that Mr Doughty contacted the police at around 4.15pm.

“When asked by the call handler what his emergency was he said, ‘I need my partner removed from the flat she has just stabbed me’.

“Mr Doughty sought refuge at his next-door neighbours’ house while he waited for police to arrive.

“When police sirens could be heard Miss Celik went back in Mr Doughty’s flat and it was there police arrested her.

“The arresting officers observed blood on her hands.

“She kept repeating that she had stabbed Mr Doughty but it was self-defence.

“Upon her arrest she started screaming, struggling, kicking out so that the officers had to restrain her.”

Celik later bit one of the police officers in a custody cell.

Mr Doughty told cops in an interview that doctors told him he was lucky that the stab wound was “centimetres” away from killing him.

Mr Saynor told the trial: “Miss Celik does not dispute that she stabbed Mr Doughty.

“The sole issue in dispute is whether in stabbing him she was acting in reasonable self-defence.”

Celik will be sentenced at the court later this month and faces years behind bars.
