Two sisters and an ex-partner launched a vicious attack on a former friend and neighbour in Bulwell. The victim, who was punched at least 20 times by the man in the group, was left with bruising and swelling to her face, complex multiple facial fractures and possible rib fractures as she was punched, kicked and dragged along in the street.
Nottingham Crown Court heard on Friday (September 9) she was admitted to a hospital's major trauma unit for pain relief, and reported having blurry vision to her right eye, and had a plate fitted to repair her face. She spent a week in hospital before discharge and now complains of short-term memory loss, dizzy spells, nerve damage, and how "it's agony" to eat on one side of her mouth.
"Looking back, I am angry. We all used to be friends. I am upset they took this form of action," her statement read. "It's still hanging over my head. I want some closure to the incident. I want them to be dealt with appropriately and however the judge sees fit."
