Good thing she didn’t want to borrow the hedge trimmers.

A Whangarei woman has been given a suspended sentence after admitting she bit the top of her neighbour’s finger off.

Beatrice knows what its like to have a finger chomped off.

Donna Gillie admitted a charge of assault in Whangarei District Court on Friday following the confrontation with neighbour Beatrice Manumua.

The confrontation was sparked when Gillie asked if she could use Ms Manumua’s lawnmower in February this year.

Ms Manumua, who had been drinking, refused and hit Gillie because she wouldn’t leave.

Gillie then bit the top of her little finger off.

“My finger was jagged and yucky looking. She bit it off and just spat it out on the grass. Blood was pouring out everywhere,” Ms Manumua told the Northern Advocate.

Ms Manumua turned down an option to have the tip sewn back on, saying it was already turning black, opting to have it amputated at the next knuckle. She said it still hurts when knocked.
