THE Oxford University medical student who stabbed her boyfriend and avoided an immediate jail term has deferred her studies.
A university spokesman confirmed that Lavinia Woodward, who is 24, will not return to Christ Church College for 18 months.
Woodward, of Milan, Italy, was given a suspended sentence after stabbing the man in a drug-fuelled attack on December 30, 2016. She was given a 10-month jail term, suspended for 18 months, at Oxford Crown Court last month.
The court heard she was 'genuinely remorseful' and suffered personal problems.
