"Lover killed for saying no to 'The Boss'

March 13, 2008 - 1:22PM

A woman snapped and stabbed her partner to death after he objected to
her listening to Bruce Springsteen music, a court has been told.

The Supreme Court in Brisbane today heard Karen Lee Cooper, 50, used a
long-bladed kitchen knife to stab 49-year-old Kevin Watson once in the
chest because she "just got tired" of him bossing her around.

She pleaded guilty today to manslaughter and was sentenced to eight
years in jail.

The court was told the pair had been drinking at their rented home at
Cedar Vale, south of Brisbane, on July 8, 2006, when an argument broke
out over Cooper's choice of music.

Defence lawyer Greg Maguire said Cooper experienced a "brain snap" and
ran to the kitchen and grabbed a knife, which she used to stab Mr
Watson after he said he didn't want to listen to a Bruce Springsteen
CD.

"I mean, who the hell doesn't like Bruce Springsteen, for God's sake?"
she later told arresting police.

"I just picked up a knife and I went 'boom'."

The knife pierced Mr Watson's aorta and oesophagus, and he died at the
scene.

The court was told Cooper dialled triple-0 and requested an ambulance
before taking a handful of painkillers.

She later told police she had hoped the pills would kill her before
they arrived.

The court was told she regretted stabbing her partner, and that she
believed he didn't deserve to die.

Cooper has already served 613 days in custody."
