A mum who left a friend with 20 knife wounds after a brutal murder bid has been jailed for more than five years.
Courtney Bodwick, 24, turned on Christine McTaggart, who she later told police had been a "mother figure" to her. The 41 year-old victim had no memory of the horror attack, but later awoke to find herself in a bed covered in blood.
Bodwick was today sentenced at the High Court in Glasgow having admitted to attempted murder at a hearing last month. Lord Colbeck was sentenced to five years and four months.
The term was cut from eight years due to the guilty plea. Bodwick will also be supervised for a further three years on her release. The stabbing occurred at Bodwick's flat in Rutherglen, Lanarkshire in the early hours of last October 22.
Miss McTaggart had gone to wash a glass in the kitchen when the mum-of-two approached from behind and hit her. Prosecutor Lorraine Glancy KC said the victim tried to fight her off.
Miss McTaggart's next recollection was waking up in bed in a large pool of blood.
Miss Glancy: "She called her ex-partner, who lived nearby, and said she had been stabbed." The man - together with a concierge - came to her aid and found her wrapped in a blood stained duvet. The flat was also in disarray. She stated to them: "I think I am dying." Miss McTaggart was rushed to hospital suffering from 20 puncture wounds on her head and body. Some of the injuries were described as life threatening although fortunately she is expected to make a full recovery.
Bodwick was held at the flat and initially claimed: "We had a scrap - nothing else."
It emerged she had sent a Facebook message to a friend in the early hours stating: "Help. ASAP". There was also a photo of her with a bloodied nose.
Bodwick later told
