A spurned thug brutally tried to kill his ex-lover while she was working in a Tesco supermarket. Ben Jenkins was caught prowling the aisles of the store in Rutherglen, Lanarkshire looking for Louise McGarry last July 9.
The 35 year-old then stormed into a staff area and pounced on terrified Louise who had been trying to hide from him. Jenkins then repeatedly stabbed the 25 year-old and was only halted when the victim's brave colleagues leapt on him.
The yob - who already had a string of offences involving ex-partners - pleaded guilty to an attempted murder charge at the High Court in Glasgow on Thursday. He will be sentenced next month.
