JEALOUS WIFE BROKE PAL’S NECK FOR SNOGGING HER HUBBY
RAGING Susan Robson broke her friend’s neck after finding her in a “compromising position” with her husband.
When victim Kirsty Adjei-Mensah decided to leave Robson’s home after a party, her husband offered to walk her part of the way home.
Robson noticed that her husband and friend were both missing from the house, became suspicious and went looking for them.
Upon finding them either about to kiss or kissing, the 37-year-old “lost the plot”, exploded into a rage and attacked Miss Adjei-Mensah after her husband had run off.
Kicked
Newcastle Crown Court heard she punched her, hit her with her handbag then repeatedly kicked her near her home in Kenton.
The victim suffered a fractured neck, had to have surgery to fit a halo neck brace, which she had to wear for three months and is continuing to suffer pain a year on.
Now Robson, who admitted causing GBH with intent on the basis that she lost her temper after finding the pair in what she believed was a “compromising position”, has been jailed for four years.
In a statement read to the court, Miss Adjei-Mensah said: “I thought I was going to die by the roadside. I can still see Susan assaulting me and smirking and I can hear the crack as my neck broke.”
It was in May last year that people had been at Robson’s home socialising and drinking.
Prosecutor Emma Dowling said: “There came a point in when the complainant said she’d had enough and wanted to go home.
“The defendant’s husband offered to walk her part of the way home, saying he wanted to visit his mother on the way back, which he did.”
Robson then went looking for them and saw when her husband came out of his mother’s home, he was alone with Miss Adjei-Mensah.
Miss Dowling said: “The defendant formed the view the defendant’s husband was about to kiss her.
“The complainant became aware of the defendant and her daughter shouting and screaming at her and the defendant’s husband ran off.
Lull
“What is clear from CCTV is she was repeatedly assaulted by the defendant in two separate incidents five minutes apart in the same location, next to some garages.”
That part of the attack lasted up to two minutes and when Miss Adjei-Mensah got up there was then lull until Robson struck again, kicking her around seven times.
The court heard it was unclear when the top vertebrae in her neck was fractured but that it required “quite a bit of force”.
Police attended and the victim lost consciousness while talking to officers.
Robson has eight previous convictions, including one for GBH in 2016 when she attacked a woman she accused of jumping a taxi queue.
