From Social Media Feud to Real-Life Nightmare: Mothers, 43 and 45, receive 10 years Jail Term after 'punishment beating' over a row on Facebook

 Two mothers who wore clown masks and carried out a violent attack on a woman in her home have been sentenced to 10 years in prison. 

The incident, which occurred on Halloween, was described as a "punishment beating" and followed a dispute between one of the attackers, Kathryn Llewellyn, and the victim on Facebook. 

The victim, Philippa Stevens, was awakened by phone calls and heard frightening laughter before the two women entered her home. 

They attacked her with a Stanley knife and poured bleach on her, leaving her with scars on her face. 

Llewellyn and her accomplice, Teresa Morgan-Peters, have been convicted of burglary, wounding with intent, and possession of a bladed article.

During the trial at Swansea Crown Court, it was revealed that the attack was premeditated, with the women donning clown masks to conceal their identities. 

They made menacing phone calls to ensure the victim was home and carried out the assault in a coordinated manner. 

Ms. Stevens suffered multiple stab wounds and described the ordeal as something out of a horror movie. She stated that the attack had deeply affected her mental well-being and that her life would never be the same again.

The court heard that the dispute between Llewellyn and the victim began on social media, where Llewellyn had posted explicit content about Ms. Stevens. 

The argument escalated, and threats were exchanged. The attack took place shortly after the online altercation. DNA evidence linked the women to the masks and bottles used during the assault.

In sentencing the defendants, Judge Geraint Walters condemned the "disturbing" nature of the crime and emphasized the level of planning involved. 

He described the attack as a horrendous act of criminal activity, questioning how a dispute on social media could lead to such violence. 

In addition to the prison sentence, both Llewellyn and Morgan-Peters received indefinite restraining orders against the victim.
