A mum has been jailed after she left her ex with horrific scarring by throwing boiling water from a kettle over him.
Caitlin Mason and the victim had been in a relationship when an argument erupted between them about whether they should separate or get back together. In a fit of rage, the 23-year-old grabbed a kettle, which had just boiled, and threw the contents at her former boyfriend, a court was told.
As he lay screaming and cowering on the floor, Mason attacked him further by punching him on the nose and biting him on the back, prosecutors said. After shouting at her to stop, he was finally able to flee the scene and ran to his mother's house before going to hospital.
