Lorna Carr alleged that her safety was always Stephen Carr’s priority.
She claimed at no stage when he was firing arrows with a bow when they were both in their bedroom, hitting her with the bow and stabbing her several times did he say he wanted to kill her.
“He is a good shot with the bow and arrow and could quite easily have taken me out,” she alleged of one shot when they were both in the bedroom.
“I think he was trying to frighten me."
She also said she pointed a kitchen knife at him when he had his bow in his hand, that she fell in a “crumpled heap” with a bent collar bone after he hit her with the bow, that she tried to get under the bed between two arrow shots and that she was crouched in a “foetal position” when he stabbed her.
She alleged she was trying to protect herself from her husband and that earlier she had cut up some of his arrows because she “didn’t want him doing anything stupid”.
The jury has heard a recording of the wife’s 999 call to police in which she says Stephen Carr is trying to kill her and can be heard saying “please don’t kill me with that, please, think of your mother”.
They have read a What’s App text from the husband to the wife after he stabbed her saying: “I am glad I didn’t manage to do what I wanted to do, I did say you were pushing me."
