Woman on crack killed OAP after he took Viagra expecting to have sex with her
Stacey Stripp stabbed Peter 13 times, including in the back with two knives, the trial continues at Exeter Crown Court
A WOMAN on crack killed an OAP after he took Viagra and carried a sex toy expecting sex with her, a court heard.
Peter Mason, 71, and Stacey Stripp, 29, romped and spent two days at his sheltered housing flat after meeting in a pub.
But on their third day together in Paignton, Devon, Stripp took crack and drank whiskey.
She stabbed Peter 13 times, including in the back, with two knives.
Prosecutor Simon Laws QC said: “On the night of November 13, 2017 the emergency services were called to a flat in Paignton where a 71-year-old man called Peter Mason had been fatally injured.
“He was lying on the floor between the bathroom and his bedroom. He had been stabbed repeatedly and the evidence strongly suggests that he had fled from his attacker to seek refuge in that bathroom and he had bled to death there.
“This is no doubt about who his attacker was. It was the defendant Stacey Stripp who at the time the emergency services arrived had fled the scene, hoping no doubt to get away.
“She was arrested nearby. She still had his blood on her hands and on her clothing. She has admitted that it was her and you may think that she had little choice but to do that.”

He told the jury: “This is not a murder case in which you’re being asked to decide who did it. Stacey Stripp killed Peter Mason. It’s a case in which you have to decide why she did what she did.”
Stripp denies murder, claiming he was trying to rape her and it was self defence. The trial continues at Exeter crown court.
