Dog eats man’s ear after his girlfriend bites it off
London: Angry girlfriend June Thomson bit off part of her boyfriend Trevor Wainman’s ear in a drunken row – only for her pet dog to eat it, a court heard.
Thomson, 44, took a chunk from Wainman’s left ear in a violent jealous rage after a barmaid bought him a drink for his birthday. Thomson punched Wainman, 45, and gouged at his eye before lunging at him and biting off part of his left ear. She then spat it out and her Yorkshire Terrier, Alfie, ate it.
Wainman fled the flat and called police. He said: “she lunged at me and sunk her teeth into my ear then spat it out. It was just jealousy. It was just so savage. A barmaid bought me a drink for my birthday. That seemed to trigger it.”
Thomson, an unemployed mother-of-five, admitted causing grievous bodily harm in the December 2009 incident at the city’s crown court.
Man faces ‘eye-for-an-eye’ justice in Iran
Tehran: Iran’s supreme court has upheld a sentence of blinding with acid for a man who blinded his lover’s husband, under the Islamic “eye-for-an-eye” justice code, a government daily said. The convict, named only as Mojtaba, 25, threw acid in the face of Alireza, 25, a taxi-driver in Iran’s clerical hub city of Qom, after an “illicit affair” with the victim’s wife Mojdeh, also 25, said the newspaper 'Iran'. The supreme court has upheld a lower court ruling that Mojtaba be blinded with drops of acid, in line with Islamic justice, which allows for “quisas”, or eye-for-an-eye retribution, in cases of violent crime, it said. Qom prosecutor Mostafa Barzegar Ganji said the victim had used his right to quisas. “We have asked for forensic specialists to oversee the blinding of the convict”, he said, quoted in Iran. Several acid attacks have been reported in Iran. In February 2009, Majid Mohavedi was sentenced to be blinded in both eyes for having hurled acid in the face of a university classmate, Ameneh Bahrami, who refused a marriage proposal. There has been no reported confirmation that the sentence was carried out.
