Halima launched a flask of coffee, which missed, before then tossing a plate at her sister-in-law's face
A mum-of-nine who launched a 'revenge attack' on her sister-in-law at a wedding has been put on an electronic tag.
Zainab was left with a serious injury to her arm when she used it to block the plate, resulting in a deep cut to her muscle, and is now left disabled. Following a trial Halima was cleared of causing grievous bodily harm with intent but she had already admitted an offence of unlawful wounding. The woman detailed the lasting impact of her injuries, including pain, numbness, sleepless nights and an aversion to heat. The mother also listed the things she now struggles to do, including washing, cooking, gardening, looking after her daughter and caring for her elderly mother.
"Against that background on June 16, 2019, you both attended a wedding reception in Birmingham. Something happened between you and it's common ground you both ended up swearing at one another." The judge stated Zainab had been left with a 'large and conspicuous' scar as well as 'significant and ongoing disability to her left arm'. He concluded: "Zainab threw a biscuit at you. Plainly there was no element of self-defence from you to that happening. Instead, you reacted in anger and essentially launched a revenge attack."
