Bradford Woman Jailed Six Years for Stabbing Ex-Partner Causing Life-Threatening Injuries

Courtney Mulchrone, a 27-year-old woman from Bradford, was sentenced to six years and three months in prison after being found guilty of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm on her ex-partner, Jordan Minnott. The stabbing occurred on May 5, 2024, outside a caravan on Dobrudden Caravan Park following a night out in Leeds, leaving Minnott in a coma for four days and with lasting physical damage. The court heard that the couple had a toxic relationship, with Mulchrone attempting to provoke jealousy by flirting with other men and later threatening Minnott, including threats to damage his car and harm herself. Mulchrone initially faced charges of attempted murder and controlling behavior, but these were dropped or resulted in acquittal. Detective Inspector Mark Nicholson emphasized that domestic abuse can affect anyone regardless of gender or age and highlighted local support services available to victims. The case underscores the severe consequences of domestic violence and the profound impact on victims' lives.
