Suspended sentence given to woman who hit her friend with a box

A DERBYSHIRE woman attacked the friend she was staying with after she caught her having sex in her home.

- 

Derby Crown Court heard how Demi Parker hit the woman over the head with a box and threw ashtrays and vases at the Swadlincote property.

The 24-year-old then went to her family home that she'd been banished from and burnt the internet cables and kicked a gas meter after her sister refused to let her in or hand over money.

Handing her a seven month jail term, suspended for two years, Recorder Helen Malcolm KC said: "You committed these offences in February and April of this year and certainly in relation to the April offences you were the subject of a suspended sentence order.
