A jealous boyfriend left his girlfriend disfigured after biting her during a kiss.Rhys Culley had asked Chanttelle Ward,18 if she loved him before he sank his teeth into her face during the horrific attack.
The 23-year-old was jealous and insecure about what she would do while he was working away. She told jurors during the trial Culley had tried to kiss her and asked her if she still loved him before the bite.
She said:
‘He put his whole mouth around my lips and pulled, I thought that my whole lip had come off. There was blood everywhere.’
They had been celebrating Miss Ward’s mother’s birthday and at about 10.30pm Miss Ward,and her aunt Susan Stewart shared a taxi home, dropping her aunt off first.
When they got back to her house,he brought up a conversation that his girlfriend had had with another man on Facebook earlier in the month.He then took her phone off her in a bid to look through her Facebook messages.When he found that the messages were no longer there he became angry and started to shout at her, accusing her of having something to hide.
At this point,she told the court, she realised that something was wrong and that this wasn’t a ‘normal’ argument for the pair, who had been together for almost two and a half years.
She became scared and lifted her phone to call the defendant’s mother to ask her to come and get him.
But Culley is said to have taken the phone from his victim, he also locked the doors so that she couldn’t escape.
