A serial-killer-obsessed mum has been jailed for 23 years after stabbing her on-off boyfriend to death. Shaye Groves murdered father-of-two Frankie Fitzgerald in his sleep at her home in Havant, Hampshire. Sentencing Groves, the judge said she showed little remorse for the “senseless” murder up until last week at the conclusion of the trial. He added that Frankie was in “the prime of his young life” when he was killed.
The court heard that Groves had “acquired” a habit of carrying a flick knife in her boot when she went outdoors and had a collection of knives and Viking axes in her bedroom, including a dagger under her pillow which she claimed was there “for her own protection”.
The judge said Groves lost her temper and “acted on impulse” on the night of the murder, calling it a “crime of passion”.
