Paralysed - Abandoned
CITY METRO £75m BOOST
JUST OVER 3 WEEKS AGO a 19 year old girl from the Bordesley Green area was abandoned by her boyfriend after just 10 months, stabbed through the hand after a viscuious disagreement about custody over their 1 month old child. A few hours before the actually attack, the pair were sighted having a loud argument outside the females home in digbeth. He faces 2 years in prison on GBH charges due to the fe-male losing all feeling in her hand and arm she is currently having to recieve physiotherapy treatment weekly. Un-til then, he continues to 'live it up' in a typical 'University student' fashion. Insiders say he has no remorse, they also express strong emotion towards him saying: "he is a bare faced at-tacker and deserves to go down" ... allegedlly the unknown male (for le-gal reasons) did the deed at 11 o'clock in the morning with-out a care in the
world and refused to disscuss the mat-ter further in a public place. The police from the local area are still trying to capture the CCTV footage that sur-rounds the specific area. Witnesses say " he is a coward for what he did and the sentence in jail just isnt enough"
Additionally his charges could be in-creased- maybe involving a heavier sentence; as family of the girl claim she is in hospital experiencing abdominal pains. There is no doubt that the pain are related to the attack and ultimately the stress the mother is under as a result of it.
