‘He tried to chop my DICK off’
PSYCHO WHO STABBED LOVE RIVAL IN THE COCK IS JAILED
EVIL James Cunliffe couldn’t cope with another man shagging his ex- missus – so he tried to cut off his love rival’s cock and balls.
The 33- year- old psycho took a kitchen knife and started stabbing Peter German in the bollocks after finding him at his former girlfriend’s house. He had gone to Shannon Mather’s to pick up clothes and found Mr German drinking alcohol, listening to music and watching TV. Cunliffe then flipped, stabbing Mr German, 45, seven times, targeting him around the groin area as the victim tried to fight him off.
Mr German suffered a punctured lung and wounds to his head, arm, groin and testicles.
At Manchester Crown Court, Cunliffe, of Leigh, was found guilty of attempted murder and sentenced to 20 years.
Mr German, who had been in an on- off relationship with Miss Mather, said he had been suffering from insomnia since the attack. He said: “He was trying to chop my dick off, he was trying to cut me down there on purpose.
“When he stabbed me between the legs, I thought ‘ this is real, he is going to kill me here’.
“With all the blood that was coming out, I thought I was going to die on that floor.
“I have been having bad dreams. I feel really sad and down all of the time and it is going to take me ages to feel normal again.
“I am paranoid of people staring at me. I am sore everywhere and they cannot do anything about it.
“I can remember thinking the defendant was going to cut my penis off. It was all a blur with me trying to defend myself.”
Anxiety
Mr German said he was in hospital for five days on morphine and the attack had left him with anxiety.
He added: “I went to hospital feeling like I was having a heart attack but they told me it was anxiety and I had to live with it.
“I have since had anxiety attacks. It feels as if my soul is going to leave my body and like I am going to die.
“It is the most horrific experience I have ever had to go through.”
The trial was told
Cunliffe had been dating Miss Mather, 31, for two years but they fell out and he had been issued with a restraining order.
But he had been ignoring it and became jealous of Mr German.
Gwen Henshaw, prosecuting, said: “The motive for this attack was jealousy, fuelled by rage.”
On March 22, Cunliffe sent Miss Mather a text message saying: “I’m capable of a life sentence, so don’t f** king wind me up” and then barged into the property.
He tackled Mr German to the floor and they began struggling.
Cunliffe eventually fled to his uncle’s, with his T- shirt covered in blood, and said: “I’ve just stabbed him up.”
He washed his hands before adding: “I’m going to the shop for some cans, I’ll see you in 10 years.”
