Somali woman bites off part of another woman’s finger in a fight
Thursday, January 20, 2011
Two Somali women have pleaded guilty to attacking each other in an argument they had over who was going to use a water basin to wash some clothes first.
The court was told that Amran Abdi Sheikh Ahmed, 25, bit off part of Nasra Mohamed Khalif’s finger. The latter in turn bit the other woman’s cheek. The incident took place at the Hal Far Open Centre at about 3pm on Tuesday.
The two women were also charged with breaching the peace, and were both given a one-year jail term suspended for two years.
Both women have been dismissed from the open centre and their children are being taken care of by the fathers.
The court was presided over by magistrate Miriam Hayman. Police inspector Priscilla Caruana prosecuted.
