A jealous lover has embarked on a fatal revenge raid after she discovered that her ex-boyfriend was cheating on her.
Chelsea Driver was distraught after her ex-boyfriend cheated
A jilted lover broke into her ex-boyfriend's house when he was not around and spattered it with her own blood before using his new girlfriend's knickers as bandages in a Fatal Attraction-style " revenge " raid, The Mirror reports.
The woman identified as Chelsea Driver, 22, put a brick through the kitchen window of Joshua Barrett's rented property after she decided to confront him in a drunken rage over his fling with Jade Hodkinson.
Realizing the lovers were not at home, the woman from Burnley, Lancashire broke through the broken window and unintentionally cut herself. She then used the blood to spatter all over the wall before using the lingerie of her ex-lover clean herself.
As she bled over the house, the shop assistant found lingerie belonging to Miss Hodkinson and then used to mop the blood up and treat her wounds. She later ripped up a pair of her love rival's jeans as she sat sobbing for 15 minutes on Mr Barrett's bed.
The woman could not control her emotions as she went on revenge raid
Driver, who didn't steal anything, then sent a text to a friend, telling her: "I have done something bad. What a d**k I am." The Mirror reports that the man came home to be surprised by the revenge raid. Police however caught up with the woman. She was sober, drunk, distraught and angry. She said her ex-boyfriend cheated on her.
It was revealed that she was also upset and hurt over Facebook posts written about her and thought she was being laughed at over the split.
At Burnley Crown Court, Driver admitted burglary and criminal damage and was given six months jail suspended for 18 months, with 100 hours unpaid work and a 20 day rehabilitation activity requirement. She was also ordered to pay Miss Hodkinson £100 compensation.
Sentencing, Judge Ian Leeming, QC, told Driver: "You were upset by what other people were saying or what you thought they were saying about the break-up of the relationship, by text, email or on Facebook. Your conduct was disgraceful but I accept you are genuinely remorseful."
