BEAUTICIAN WHO BIT OFF HER BOYFRIEND'S NOSE GETS SUSPENDED JAIL TERM

A 26-year-old beautician, Bronwyn Downs, has been involved in a violent incident where she bit off her boyfriend’s nose during a drunken altercation in Cheshire.

The incident occurred after they were ejected from a wine bar following a scuffle with other patrons.

During the altercation, Downs sunk her teeth into Luke Berry’s face, biting off his nose and spat it onto the floor as he recoiled in agony.

She then ran off, leaving bystanders to help him outside the Drawing Room bar in Bramhall, Cheshire.

Berry was left with permanent facial disfigurement and was treated in hospital.

Downs was later found slumped on the street after taking prescription medication, and she was arrested by police.

Despite her injuries, Berry refused to cooperate with police and requested no restraining order.

She admitted to wounding and was sentenced to a 12-month jail sentence suspended for 16 months.

The court heard that the attack was unplanned, done in the heat of the moment, and that Downs displayed remorse, having attempted to overdose afterward.

The judge emphasized it was an unwarranted and nasty attack but acknowledged her remorse and remorseful attitude, giving her a sentence that included unpaid work and rehabilitation activities.
