A Canadian woman has pleaded guilty to stabbing her boyfriend during a sex game in which he asked her to carve a heart-shaped symbol onto his chest.
Reports from Canada say Catherine McCoubrey, 25, was sentenced to three years' probation for the February 2007 assault.
Winnipeg Free Press reports the couple had been drinking and were engaged in “rough sex” when the boyfriend asked her to carve the symbol.
McCoubrey complied but accidentally pressed the knife too deep.
The 24-year-old victim was rushed to hospital with a puncture wound to his heart and was not expected to live, but has since recovered.
