A mother of two who stabbed her partner to death in "a flash of temper" as they kissed and cuddled has been jailed for at least 13 years.
Michelle Spencer (pictured above), 48, drove a 4in (11cm) kitchen knife into David Butterfield (below) at their home in Shirley Terrace, Gomersal, West Yorkshire, in January.
She initially claimed she did not know who had attacked her partner but later accepted responsibility.
Spencer, who admitted murder, was sentenced to life at Leeds Crown Court with a minimum term of 13 years.
