A violent school attack that left a teacher disfigured and lying unconscious in a pool of her own blood has ended without a jail sentence for the teenager responsible.
Eighteen-year-old Kieran Matthew seized his teacher, Carol Shaw, in what witnesses described as a “rugby-style grip” and slammed her head-first onto the concrete floor at St Paul’s Academy in Dundee.
The brutal assault, which took place on March 22 of last year, caused a severe head injury and left the teacher with permanent scars.
