Victim thought she was going to die during vicious attack by hairdresser

Mum avoids jail after booze-fuelled brawls

- VIC RODRICK

A SAVAGE hairdresser repeatedly stamped on another woman's face after an all-day drinking binge.

Susan Whyte thought she was going to die as 31-year-old mum-of-two Nicole Burnham viciously attacked her.

Susan was punched and kicked repeatedly before Burnham stamped on her head as she lay on the ground.

She revealed in a victim impact statement that she had suffered permanent scarring from bite marks Burnham had inflicted on her.

Susan said she had also been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder because of her fear she would be attacked again. She had also been forced to sell her home at a loss and move from the area, affecting her relationships with her husband and extended family.
