A jilted lover who stabbed her former boyfriend in the penis while he was driving has been jailed.

Tatiana Bastos, 29, plunged a kitchen knife into her ex-lover's groin as they drove along after discovering he was seeing a new girlfriend.

He needed stitches in his penis after the six-inch blade cut through three levels of his clothing.

The his ordeal was made even worse when Bastos tried to cover her tracks by making up a story that he had sexually assaulted her.

Judge Michael Heath, who jailed Bastos for 32 months at Lincoln Crown Court, told her that stabbing Mr Morais in the groin was a "wicked thing to do."

Bastos, formerly of High Street, Lincoln, admitted unlawfully wounding Mr Morais, possessing an offensive weapon and perverting the course of justice between 21 and 23 May, 2008.
