Woman who stabbed victim with broken bottle jailed

On release, she will be subject to licence for a further three years.

At the time of Hill’s conviction, her victim, who is in her 40s, said she could not talk more “than above a whisper” as a result of the attack.

“I’m embarrassed by what I sound like, I do worry about what people think of me when I speak to them,” she said.

“I have been suffering with nightmares since I was attacked, and they are frequent.

“I don’t dream about the actual attack on me, I dream about other situations where I always end up getting stabbed and, in the dream, I can always feel a sting wherever I end up being stabbed.”
