issey6cats · 30/04/2011 20:02

thats awful shes young and was pretty too and those poor boys were probably in the house when her ex attacked her he should be hung by his balls and left there for a long time

CarGirl · 30/04/2011 20:02

What a fucking animal! If he doesn't get life I'll be pretty disgusted tbh. The poor lass though, she must have been so scared. I cant imagine never seeing my DDs wee face again. So sad. :(

snice · 30/04/2011 20:10

thats one of the most upsetting things I've read on MN-please be aware if you're not feeling too good yourself

that poor poor woman

CarGirl · 30/04/2011 20:15

I think tbh the emotional trauma may well be worse than the being blind Sad

HecateQueenOfTheNight · 30/04/2011 20:17

What's the betting that his lawyer will claim he was 'provoked' and he'll get a slap on the wrist and a statement from the judge saying that he was a very naughty boy but she deserved it

[no faith in the system when it comes to justice for women]

discobeaver · 30/04/2011 20:21

If he does only get a few years, you can only hope one of her family is waiting for him when he gets out.

LynetteScavo · 30/04/2011 20:21

Er, that is horrific.

Wish I hadn't read it, TBH.

Shock
FabbyChic · 30/04/2011 20:21

Thats horrendous, I hope he gets hurt when he goes away. Her poor children she won't ever be able to see them again, or care for them properly.

aliceliddell · 30/04/2011 20:23

Should this go on the violence against women thread? Truly horrendous.

PeachyPossum · 30/04/2011 20:24

Thats awful, poor women. I hope her recovery is as swift and complete as it can be, and that he gets swift justice.

JimmyChooChoo · 30/04/2011 20:28

Sorry for for sharing but this story needs to be told and not hidden.Cannot brush this stuff under the carpet.
That monster needs to be named and shamed and punished.
Bless that poor motherSad

Sad Heartbreakingly sad.

sprinkles77 · 30/04/2011 20:31

Issey, why does it matter more cos she was young and pretty?

CareyFakes · 30/04/2011 20:35

She will still be able to affectively care for her children Fabbychic. There are thousands of blind parents coping fine.

What a horrendous attack, sickening. He will get time for it, but he'll be out in half of it. The alcohol will take most of the blame, along with some level of 'mental' imbalance.

Hope that the story will not lead to the judgement being affected. He will need protection as he has been named and vigilantes again will want 'revenge' leading to his safety being paramount over others.

Onefunmum · 30/04/2011 20:42

Words fail me. I actually feel sick after reading that. I hope that man gets what he deserves and the family gets justice. My heart goes out to them.

ilovepancakes · 30/04/2011 20:43

OMG! it don't bare thinking about.
That poor lady
My heart goes out to her and her family xxx
That man should suffer for what he has done!

sb6699 · 30/04/2011 20:44

OMG - I dont know what to say Shock Sad

I really hope this animal get the sentence he deserves and that she learns how to live life fully despite her injuries.

AgentZigzag · 30/04/2011 20:53

That poor woman had to live the seconds and minutes of the attack, all I had to do was read it.

I think you were right to post it OP, things like this shouldn't be brushed under the carpet as normal.

Gouging her eyes out?? That is revolting.

Even animals don't do things like that.

takethisonehereforastart · 01/05/2011 09:30

I've seen this on another forum, posted by someone who knows friends of his.

Apparently he is already using the defence that she provoked him and some of his friends are spreading rumours about how that may be true but are still no excuse to do any of that to her.

And it's also not the first time he's attacked someone.

I hope he rots in hell.

RunAwayWife · 01/05/2011 09:37

Poor woman, terll me again why we can't hang these animals?
