Jailed: Dawn Barr has been sentenced to nine years in prison after she stabbed the father of four of her children to death A mother-of-six who stabbed the 'devoted' father of their children to death during a blazing row after she left him for another man has been jailed for nine years. Darren Orrett, 32, had moved out of the family home in Cheadle, Greater Manchester, he shared with care assistant Dawn Barr, 42, after she told him she had started a new relationship with lover Robert Joyce.
