Westerhope woman boasted on Snapchat with mum's fingertip in her mouth after biting it off

A savage woman boasted on social media with 'grotesque' pictures of a mum's fingertip in her mouth after biting it off.

Libby Armstrong and victim Toni Lough clashed in the toilets of a nightclub then came together again outside the premises and ended up on the ground. As Miss Lough's hand came towards her face, Armstrong clamped her teeth down on her wedding ring finger and bit the full tip off as the victim screamed for her to stop.

A court heard Armstrong, 22, of Shearwater Close, Westerhope, Newcastle, then put disturbing images of herself with the fingertip in her mouth on Snapchat and others added captions. Now she has been jailed at Newcastle Crown Court as the effect on the victim, who is a single mum-of-four and had to quit her job as a sandwich maker, was revealed.
