Two nightmare neighbours left a couple with injuries after attacking them with a kitchen knife and ammonia amid a long-standing dispute.
Amanda Timney, 37, and Gary Hill, 41, caused damage to their neighbours' cars in Easington Colliery shortly before a confrontation occurred between them on October 28, last year. During the disturbance, Timney armed herself with a large knife before striking out at her female neighbour and hitting her in the head and causing a laceration. Hill armed himself with a bottle of household ammonia and splashed it in the face and eyes of the male neighbour.
Timney, of Barwick Street, Easington Colliery, and Hill, of North View, Sherburn, appeared at Durham Crown Court on Wednesday to be sentenced for criminal damage. Timney, who appeared via link from HMP Low Newton, was also sentenced for possession of a knife and wounding, with Hill, appearing via link from HMP Durham, also being sentenced for section 47 assault.
