OnlyFans model jailed for life for break-up murder row

An OnlyFans model has been jailed for life for murdering her ex-boyfriend, whom she stabbed in the heart with a kitchen knife.

Abigail White, 24, stabbed Bradley Lewis, 22, at their home in Kingswood, near Bristol after he ended their relationship earier in the day.

She initially told police she had not stabbed him on 25 March but later admitted manslaughter.

White will serve at least 18 years before she is eligible for parole.

She made £50,000 in one year working on the online streaming platform OnlyFans, where users can buy and sell content, and alleged Mr Lewis had been controlling with the money she made.

The jury heard their relationship was strained and that Mr Lewis had left the family home and was staying with his mother at the time.

After sentencing, Mr Lewis' father Steve said he did not feel "that we have received justice as we have now got a life sentence".

"Brad's death has brought so much sadness, not just to his family, but the many people that knew him," he added.

"We are in a sense lucky as a family to have, and still receive, overwhelming support from everyone that knew Brad, or knows us, and I thank those people for that."

He went on to thank the police and social services for their support and finished by saying: "Brad would say 'that's enough dad, stop going on', to which I would reply 'that's my boy'."

In the days before White killed Mr Lewis, the court heard she had stabbed him in the arm and, 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."

A post-mortem examination found he had suffered a single, fatal wound, at least 7cm deep, to the chest, that entered his heart.

On the day of the attack he told White in a park that he no longer wanted to be with her.

They later met friends in a pub where White started a fight with some of the other drinkers.

The court heard White had drunk a bottle of wine as well as several other drinks and had taken a small amount of cocaine when she threw her drink over a man in the pub.

Mr Lewis and White left the pub together and minutes after they arrived home, she stabbed him.

A neighbour called 999 after she heard White screaming and when she entered the house she found Mr Lewis lying on the kitchen floor.

White told her neighbour Mr Lewis had injured himself, the court heard.

The model then phoned a friend and again told them and the police that Mr Lewis was responsible for the stabbing.

White later admitted she had stabbed him.

In court she said she had only intended to "shock and scare" Mr Lewis with the knife.

"We were arguing, and he was pushing me and were in the hallway.

"I went into the kitchen, and I seen the knife on the side," White said.

"Picked it up and walked back towards Brad. I went over to him to shock him, to scare him with the knife and before I knew it, I had stabbed him."

"I picked up that knife in anger and upset, but I didn't want to hurt him or kill him," she told the jurors.

White accepted she had lied in the aftermath of stabbing Mr Lewis but denied she was trying to protect herself.
