Number 8 Donna Marie Bell On September the 21st of 2013, a violent argument
erupted between British woman Donna Marie Bell and her partner, Scott Morrison, at their
Leeds home.
The cause of the row remained unspecified but it escalated to Bell, then in her mid-20s,
headbutting Morrison and repeatedly hitting him over the head with a kitchen bin.
Morrison alerted the police but, by the time that officers arrived at the scene, Bell had
viciously attacked him with a large kitchen knife.
The mother-of-four reportedly laughed as she delivered three to four knife strikes, primarily
aimed at her partner’s neck.
The man suffered a cut to his hand and neck as he scrambled to defend himself.
Fortunately, his injuries weren’t life-threatening.
The knife attack was reportedly witnessed by the couple’s young son.
Bell was arrested and, during the legal proceedings that followed, pleaded guilty to wounding
with intent.
She had previous convictions for violence with her defense pointing to mental health
problems as a factor in her recurrent aggressive outbursts.
For the latest offense, Bell was ultimately jailed for three years and nine months.
Number 7 Byron Redmon 26-year-old Byron Redmon went to his girlfriend’s
home, in Dallas, Texas, on July the 30th of 2022.
The man, who was allegedly inebriated and enraged, confronted Mekeja Heath for “spreading
rumors” regarding his behavior towards her during their 8-month on-again off-again relationship.
Redmon was an area rapper who performed as Smoove and whose lyrics often referenced guns
and violence against women.
After the two of them had engaged in a verbal dispute, Redmon brandished a pistol which
he aimed at Heath.
He grabbed his ex-girlfriend by the hair and had her beg for her life as he pointed the
weapon at her face, threatening to shoot.
Heath later reported she could see directly down the barrel and that the more she tried
to avoid the weapon and get Redmon to loosen his grip on her, the angrier he got.
The man brought Heath to her knees and continued spewing threats in her ear.
The pistol then went off and Heath was shot through the neck.
The woman remembered feeling like her whole body was paralyzed and thinking she was dead.
She noted that, in the gunshot’s aftermath, Redmon “came back to reality” after having
previously acted like he “was possessed”.
He repeatedly apologized to her, maintaining that he hadn’t meant to shoot and that the
gun had gone off on accident.
He carried Heath to the car, leaving a trail of blood from her bedroom into the street,
and took her to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas.
Doctors discovered that the bullet had gone through the side of Heath’s neck leaving
behind fragments that were too dangerous to remove without surgery but concluded that
the injury was not life-threatening.
She was released a few hours later whereupon she learned that Redmon had died at the same
hospital.
The bullet that had shot through her neck had struck him in the femoral artery, resulting
in massive blood loss.
Heath claimed that she felt relieved by the news as she feared Redmon would’ve come
after her out of concern that she’d speak to the police about the shooting.
In the incident’s aftermath, the woman struggled with PTSD and was left unable to work due
to nerve damage and intermittent pain that travelled down the right side of her neck
and arm to her fingertips.
Number 6 Nicole Denison Florida woman Nicole Denison arrived at her
home in Safety Harbor, near Tampa, to find her husband being intimate with another woman,
on July the 22nd of 2020.
She and 34-year-old Mike had been married for nearly three years and had two children
together.
He worked as a bartender and fitness instructor and he’d made a number of social media posts
praising his love for Nicole, with the most recent dating to March of that year.
Upon finding him mid-tryst, Nicole attacked him.
She punched Mike in the face, leaving him with a black eye, scratched his forehead and
also bruised his arm.
Nicole, who at the time was employed as a flight attendant with Allegiant Air, then
grabbed his acoustic guitar and smashed it against the wall, causing a gaping hole.
Law enforcement arrived at the scene and took note of the damage that the 29-year-old had
inflicted upon her husband and home.
Officers also reported that there were indications she was under the influence of alcohol.
They arrested her for domestic battery, a misdemeanor.
Number 5 Charlene Gregory 40-year-old Charlene Gregory and her boyfriend,
whose identity wasn’t released, were grocery shopping in Cheshire, England, on February
the 25th of 2021.
They encountered 20-year-old Oceania Armitt, whom they both knew, outside the shop.
At some point, Gregory was reportedly told by her partner that the younger woman had
made flirtatious remarks towards him.
The jealous mother-of-two then asked Armitt why she was looking at her boyfriend to which
the latter reacted by telling her to “go away”.
As Armitt walked off around the corner, Gregory charged and grabbed her by her ponytail before
taking her to the ground.
She proceeded to bash her head against the pavement, leaving Armitt with grazing and
a large lump.
The victim alerted the authorities who told her to go to the hospital and later arrested
Gregory.
Armitt subsequently recovered while Gregory was charged with assault.
She had prior convictions for harassment, malicious communications and breach of restraining
order.
Her criminal past had resulted in social services taking her children away from her.
For the attack on Armitt, Gregory was given an 8-week jail sentence, suspended for 18
months, and ordered to pay her £250 compensation as well as attend an alcohol treatment program.
Number 4 Gemma Hollings In May of 2014, English police in Darwen,
Lancashire, found a man lying in the street, covered in blood and suffering from severe
injuries.
Officers learned that 30-year-old Paul Kirkpatrick had been attacked by his girlfriend, Gemma
Hollings, at the home they’d been sharing for the past months.
The police would describe the incident as a “relentless assault” and of the most
serious cases of domestic violence they’d ever come across, specifying that the victim
was lucky to have escaped with his life.
He and Hollings, who was also in her 30s, were recovering addicts who’d been planning
to get married.
Kirkpatrick reported that the brutal assault had been sparked by a rather trivial argument
about her hair straighteners.
The wider dispute, however, was attributed to the fact that Kirkpatrick had failed to
obtain the money that Hollings had asked him to get from his relatives.
The woman beat him with her bare hands and squeezed his privates, causing intense pain.
Throughout the prolonged attack, she struck him with a hammer and a hollow curtain pole.
Hours after the hammer attack, she broke an empty bottle of ouzo over his head then stabbed
him in the neck with the jagged glass, exposing his jugular vein.
Kirkpatrick eventually fled the home and was left with multiple cuts, a fractured eye socket
and a displaced cheekbone fracture which required the insertion of a metal plate to mend.
Hollings, whose booking photo showed her with a black eye, was convicted in October of that
year.
She was sentenced to eight years in prison after being found guilty of two counts of
assault occasioning actual bodily harm, one count of causing grievous bodily harm with
intent and one of wounding with intent.
The Court of Appeal in London found, in January of 2015, that the original sentence had been
“unduly lenient” and increased it by four years.
The incident prompted a broader conversation on the hesitancy of men to report cases of
domestic violence.
Kirkpatrick, who recovered in the aftermath and moved away from Darwen, was praised for
coming forward and the authorities encouraged others in similar situations to do so.
Number 3 Star Perez In April of 2018, San Antonio woman Star Perez
and her husband, Daniel, attended a local festival called Fiesta, before returning to
their home.
A row erupted in the couple’s kitchen after 27-year-old Star accused her partner of having
looked at other women during the festival.
As tensions escalated, she grabbed a kitchen knife and told the man “I could kill you
right now.
You don’t even know.
I could kill you.”
Either before or after uttering the threat, Star swung the knife at Daniel, with whom
she’d been married for 11 years and shared a child.
She plunged the blade into the upper portion of his left arm.
The bleeding man fled the apartment and called the police who subsequently took Star into
custody on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Number 2 Brittany Wilson Law enforcement in Cape Girardeau, Missouri,
responded to a 911 call, on Christmas Eve 2021, made by a woman who claimed that she’d
killed her boyfriend.
Upon arrival, officers came upon the caller, identified as 32-year-old Brittany Wilson,
standing in the doorway of the residence.
A sword was also spotted on the property’s front lawn.
Upon searching the home, the police found her boyfriend Harrison Stephen Foster, aged
34, dead in the bedroom from multiple stab wounds.
Wilson told officers that, for several months leading up to the brutal killing, Foster had
had multiple entities living in his body and also claimed that he’d been harvesting body
parts from other people.
The woman claimed that by stabbing him, she was “setting him free” but also admitted
that she and the victim had taken methamphetamine earlier in the day.
Wilson, who adopted a wide smile in her mugshot, was charged with first degree murder and armed
criminal action.
She was booked at the Cape Girardeau Municipal Jail on a $2 million bond.
Wilson appeared in court on December the 27th and pleaded not guilty while also requesting
a public defender.
Number 1 Ross McCullum Less than an hour after going to meet her
boyfriend, on the evening of August the 6th of 2021, Megan Newborough was brutally murdered.
The 23-year-old human resources specialist had been dating work colleague Ross McCullum,
aged 29, and had gone to his parents’ home in Leicestershire, England.
McCullum strangled her in the living room, cut her throat with carving knife to “make
sure she was dead” and then bundled her in the passenger seat of his car.
He drove to a remote rural location near the village of Woodhouse Eaves.
It was there that he threw Newborough’s body over a stone wall into dense undergrowth
and the following day she was reported missing.
The police traced her disappearance to McCullum who initially claimed she’d left his home
safely before eventually telling officers where they could find her remains.
As of November 2022, McCullum had admitted manslaughter but denied murder, claiming that
the killing had been the result of him losing control or suffering an abnormality of the
mind.
During his initial police interviews he stated that he’d stopped taking his treatment for
depression and ADHD and had become agitated when Newborough tried to touch him intimately.
McCullum claimed it triggered memories of childhood abuse.
He told her to get off and she allegedly slapped him, at which point the man fatally strangled
her.
The prosecution, however, aimed to prove that McCullum’s actions had been calculated,
arguing he’d made efforts to clean up the scene and texted Newborough to make it seem
like she was alive upon leaving the home.
Roughly 3,500 messages previously exchanged between the pair showed how the conversation
had become “overwhelmingly” intimate with McCullum demanding that Newborough call him
“lord commander” during fantasized scenarios.
The prosecution would argue it offered an insight into “what truly lies beneath”.
Evidence also indicated that they’d already been intimate and McCullum had reportedly
shown nude photos of the victim to a colleague, seemingly unperturbed by the prospect of her
finding out.
After killing her, McCullum had viewed YouTube video about serial killers and mass shooters
which, again, the prosecution argued was an indication of his pre-determined mindset.
