2 Women Plead Guilty To Smashing Bottle Against Teen's Head, Writing On His Leg With Broken Glass

Two women in Scotland have pleaded guilty to assaulting a teenage boy and causing him severe injuries and permanent disfigurement.

Nora Holmes, 24, and Agnes Bowers, 27, have been accused of torturing a 17-year-old boy at his home in Glasgow, Scotland. They pleaded guilty at the Glasgow High Court on Jan. 20.

In a horrific attack that happened on Oct. 4, 2019, Holmes smashed a bottle of vodka against the boy's head. The pair kicked the victim, punched him on the body and stamped on his head, leaving him with bleeding on the head.

The duo also wrote on the victim's leg with a piece of broken glass, leaving the room like a "bloodbath," reported local news outlet Glasgow Times.

"Holmes called him a pedophile and a beast in the course of the attack and she repeatedly struck his head off a wall," Prosecutor Paul Kearney told the court.

A female witness at the flat called the police after the victim asked her to report the assault. "It looked to me like they were trying to write something on his legs with the glass," she later told the investigators.

When the emergency officers arrived at the scene, the victim was found immobile and drenched in blood. He suffered a blunt force injury that caused bleeding to his brain and had multiple injuries on his face, body and limbs. The doctors found that he had a 10-centimeter cut on his jugular vein and had fractured nasal bones.

Holmes told the investigators that she had come to the victim's flat to confront him for being a "beast," but things "got out of control."

The court heard that Holmes and the victim grew up together and considered themselves as siblings at one point.

There had already been allegations against the victim prior to the attack, reported local news outlet Daily Record. Holmes had previously assaulted the victim and was once sentenced to eight months in jail for her abusive behavior toward the boy.

"His life was put in danger by the injuries and without medical treatment and blood transfusion, he would have died," Kearney told the court. "The wounds will leave permanent scars, but there will be no loss of function."

The court has scheduled the sentencing for next month, pending a background report from a judge.
