BEAUTICIAN Janee Parsons was stabbed more than a dozen times by her husband, a court heard.
At Oxford Crown Court today, Miranda Moore QC, prosecuting, told the jury that Andrew Parsons attacked his wife on the landing outside the bedroom at their family home in Lucerne Avenue, Bicester, on December 1 before getting a knife from the kitchen and stabbing her.
The court heard that Mrs Parsons had asked Mr Parsons for a divorce and she had begun seeing someone else.
Mrs Parsons was due to meet her boyfriend at 10am that morning to spend the weekend with him, the jury heard.
The court heard Mr Parsons had taped a voice recorder underneath Mrs Parson's bed which recorded her pleading for her life during the alleged attack.
Miss Moore said Parsons punched his wife before going downstairs to get a knife.
She said: "He then came up the stairs with it and stabbed her more than a dozen times. There are probably 17 or so knife wounds."
The 38-year-old denies murder.
The trial continues.
