A mum of two, 26 year old Kate Nield , was left with horrific injuries after another woman, 29 year old Claire McCluskey, bit a chunk of flesh out of her face at a house party in Southport, Merseyside, on February 26. McCluskey initially pleaded not guilty to attacking Nield with intent to cause great bodily harm, but on Thursday 18th August, admitted to a lesser charge of wounding without intent in a deal with the Crown Prosecution Service.

“She bit me and took a big chunk out of my face. “There was blood everywhere.”

The cause of the attack was not specified.The case was adjourned for pre-sentence reports to be prepared.
