Kirsty Carless fled to her mum's home after she killed ex-boyfriend Louis Price
This is the moment police arrested a 'jealous' woman less than an hour after she brutally murdered a dad-of-six on Christmas morning.
Kirsty Carless knifed ex-boyfriend Louis Price to death in his parents' home after finding out he was on Tinder following their split.

She was 'motivated by jealousy' and 'fuelled by the effects of co***ne and alcohol' when she killed her victim, a murder trial heard.
