Boyfriend Found Guilty Over Model Murder
Ricardo Morrison, the boyfriend of a model who was stabbed to death in Greater Manchester, has been found guilty of her murder.
Morrison, 22, used a six-inch kitchen knife to attack 19-year-old Amy Leigh Barnes, who was left to die in a pool of blood at her grandmother's in Farnworth, near Bolton, Lancashire.
Miss Barnes was found bleeding to death by her father in November 2008.
A jury convicted Morrison following an 11-day trial at Manchester Crown Court.
Morrison's mother, PC Melda Wilks, who let him wash his bloodstained clothes at her home, was found not guilty of assisting an offender.
During the three-week trial, the 22-year-old stabbed Miss Barnes nine times, and with such force that her liver had been perforated.
The 19-year-old who had appeared in Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks and modelled in Playboy, Cosmopolitan and Nuts, made a 999 call and told the operator: "I have been stabbed. I can't breathe. I have been stabbed."
The operator asked her who had stabbed her and she replied: "My boyfriend", the court heard.
