Wife: I killed him for being Bossy

AN AUSTRALIAN woman who stabbed her partner to death because she was tired of being bossed around said an argument over Bruce Springsteen was the last straw.

Karen Lee Cooper pleaded guilty to manslaughter yesterday and was sentenced to eight years in prison for killing partner Kevin Watson in a drunken argument at their home in north-eastern Queensland in July 2006.

Cooper, 50, called an ambulance after suffering what her lawyer Greg Maguire called a “brain snap” and stabbing Watson, 49, once in the chest with a kitchen knife. He died at the scene.
