Andrew Auwkit, 25, stabbed his girlfriend with a
knife and fork, puncturing her lung, at a family meal on the day he was
released from jail
A man who stabbed his girlfriend with a knife and fork because she turned down his mother's cooking has been jailed for six years.
Andrew Auwkit lost his temper with his girlfriend during a family meal on May 9 - the day he was released from jail.
A court heard the 25-year-old, from Coventry, was at his parent's dinner table when the woman - who has an eating disorder - said she did not want to eat the food his mother had prepared.
He launched at his girlfriend in a frenzy calling her a 'fussy eater' and plunged his cutlery repeatedly into her chest.
His terrified victim, who has not been named, was left bleeding heavily at the table and suffered multiple injuries, including a collapsed lung.
Auwkit dialled 999 after attacking her - but once he was arrested he sent her a series of threatening letters from custody trying to get her to drop her complaint.
She ignored them, and he was jailed for six years yesterday at Warwick Crown Court after he admitted wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and perverting the course of justice.
Judge Richard Griffith-Jones told him: 'When she was not receptive to eating your mother’s cooking with the appreciation you had hoped, you completely lost your temper.
