VIOLENT: Saunders FURY has greeted the “lenient” sentence handed down to a mother-of-two who drove her jealous ex to kill a man – by sending him a blowjob photo.

Pregnant Sarah Bramley, 29, sent a pic of herself performing oral sex on Michael Lawson to violent David Saunders with the message: “Feel free to smack the c**t.”

Meanwhile, Saunders flew into a rage and stabbed Mr Lawson to death in Darlington, Co Durham, as he ORAL SEX TAUNT: Bramley with stab victim Michael Lawson walked home from Bramley’s house. Saunders was jailed for life last year and Bramley was sentenced to four months behind bars at Teesside Crown Court this week.

She showed no emotion as she was led from the dock after being jailed for admitting encouragin­g or assisting the commission of an offence.

Bramley will be entitled to automatic parole halfway through her jail term, meaning she could serve just two months.

She admitted inciting an assault after it was accepted she could not have foreseen that her actions would lead to Mr Lawson’s murder.

Nick Dry, prosecutin­g told the court: “She was involved in an on-off relationsh­ip with both men over a period of months.” had recently slept with Mr Lawson.

“She appeared to revel in the drama and attention of the situation.”

Defending, Robert Newcombe said: “Miss Bramley had lost her moral compass at the time – she was affected by substance abuse and alcoholism.”

Mr Lawson’s uncle Ray Scaife said after the hearing: “We’re glad she went to jail, it’s the only fair sentence.

“She deserves to be in prison, it’s a shame it couldn’t be longer.

“She knew she was winding up a violent man and at the very least she knew that Mike was going to get a good hiding.”

Bramley told police that she had asked Mr Lawson to leave her home as she feared what would happen to him if Saunders arrived.
