A WOMAN accused of stabbing her love rival to death during a street fight claimed the victim looked “absolutely fine” when she left her.

Karla Biddle, 32, of Aldbury Road, Yardley Wood, Birmingham, had confronted 30-year-old Emma Bradshaw at the home of the boyfriend they shared in Berkeley Road, Shirley, in May last year.

Biddle, who denies murder, told Warwick Crown Court she did not realise Ms Bradshaw had been injured until she received a call from boyfriend Ashley Watson hours after the fight.

Mark Wall, prosecuting, said after waiting for Mr Watson and his landlord to leave for work, Biddle got into the house and went into the kitchen where, using a knife she had taken there, stabbed Miss Bradshaw twice in the stomach.

Ms Bradshaw fled and tried to get help at a house opposite, but then staggered away and collapsed in the street.
