Victim’s ear was almost detached
A THUG is facing jail for attacking his ex-girlfriend at her home and leaving her with serious facial injuries.
Gary Marcel denied attempting to murder Charlotte Small and his guilty plea to causing grievous bodily harm with intent was accepted.
The 46-year-old, of Holborough Road, Snodland, will have to wait until June 16 to know his fate while a psychiatric report is prepared.
Marcel was arrested after Miss Small was found covered in blood on the floor of her home in Tovil Road, Maidstone, on December 22. She was taken to hospital with injuries described as “life changing”. Her left ear was almost detached.
Prosecutor Martin Yale said a victim impact statement and up-to-date medical report would be provided at the sentencing hearing.
Judge Michael Carroll said: “It is an extremely serious allegation.”
Marcel, who also admitted breaching a restraining order, was remanded in custody.
