Woman attacked childhood friend’s genitals with gardening tool in scrap over £48 debt – Daily Star
A woman left a childhood friend with a horrendous injury to his genitals by whacking him with a garden tool over a debt of less than 50 quid.
Corrina Mills distracted Russell Tierney before swinging the tool at his privates, causing a serious injury to his testicle and leaving him needing hospital treatment after his groin was left swollen and bruised.
Mills, who claimed she was owed £48 by the victim, had boasted to a friend that she had “battered” him, reports the Chronicle Live.
