A woman who stabbed her boyfriend because she was driving too fast was sentenced to 17 years in prison

An 18 – year – old Polish teenager was sentenced for fatally stabbing her boyfriend in the heat of an argument, while they had only left for three days.

At the end of October of last year Martyna Ogonowska and Filip Jaskiewicz they came back from a party in Peterborough, about 120 kilometers from London, when, suddenly, Martyna complained the speed at which Filip drove.

A few hours later, he took a taxi to a police station and surrendered himself. On the photo of her detention, she appears with tears in her eyes and is touched.

While confessing the crime to the police, a group of people found Jaskiewicz's body in his car. This simple stab was enough to kill him.

According to the authorities' report, Jaskiewicz had gone to England a year earlier and had settled in Peterborough, where he was working as a van driver. Both were of Polish descent and met by mutual friends.

In the interview with the police, she claimed that it was an accident and that she had beaten him in self-defense, forgetting that he was holding a knife in his hand.

On Thursday, April 25, Martyna was sentenced after the police managed to find a text message that she had sent to her mother a few minutes after the incident. "The whole knife stuck in his chest, what should I do?", says the text of WhatsApp.

A judge ordered that it be 17 years behind bars before being able to apply for parole.

The Cambridge court heard that Jaskiewicz, Ogonowska and their friends had been in a club before the group returned at 5am.

Judge Farrell explained why he did not want to cancel the sentence: "He took a knife at the scene to use it if necessary. Who carries a weapon when you go out with your partner?"
