A MANIPULATIVE woman murdered her boyfriend after tying him up and strangling him with an extension lead as she flirted and sexted with her new man.
Charlotte Dootson, 25, sent a picture of 53-year-old Mohammed Mukhtar to the man while he was bound by his hands, feet, and neck with extension leads.
He was tied up for more than two hours before she killed him.
Mr. Mukhtar, described as being ‘harmless’ and ‘vulnerable’, had suffered domestic abuse at Dootson’s hand for years.
She had repeatedly attacked him during a campaign of cruelty, and at the time she murdered him Dootson, a former drug addict with a personality disorder, was under investigation for allegedly strangling him with a cable extension.
Prior to killing him, she also either kicked or stamped on him and caused a life-threatening injury to his liver.
Now Dootson has been jailed for life to serve a minimum of 22-and-a-half years after admitting to murdering Mr. Mukhtar, known to his family as Amin, in his own flat in Miles Platting.
A judge said Dootson’s behaviour was ‘not far from sadistic’.
