A mum bit off half of her friend's ear in a 'sickening' attack during a row on boozy night out.
Victoria Burgess bit through the entire length of Jenna Edwards's ear during the early hours of April 6 in a Newport kebab shop.
Ms Edwards was then kicked while she lay on the floor bleeding and in shock.
A court heard the victim subsequently found part of her ear on the floor and picked it up before dropping it back to the ground as she was “horrified”.
Sentencing Burgess at Newport Crown Court on Wednesday, Judge Daniel Williams described the attack as “brutal”, reports Wales Online.
Bethan Evans, prosecuting, said Burgess and Jenna Edwards had been friends for about four years.
The day before the incident they took their children to a play centre together and Burgess said she was fed up of being stuck in the house every day.
Prosecutors said they made plans to go and play bingo the next day and Ms Edwards went to the defendant’s home at around 5pm.
