A FORMER escort girl who axed to death her businessman lover will appear in court to appeal against her sentence later this month.
Janet Charlton, aged 36, hit Harwood tycoon Daniel O'Brien over the head and upper body 20 times during a kinky sex session in the bedroom of his home in Midgely, West Yorkshire.
She was found guilty of manslaughter at Leeds Crown Court last summer and sentenced to five years in jail.
The case will go to the Court of Appeal in London on January 31. Mr O'Brien, aged 41, was bound, gagged, handcuffed and naked when he was killed at his home in May 2001.
