TWO women are accused of attacking another woman in her own flat with a knife and bleach while wearing “clown masks”.

Kathryn Llewellyn, 43, of Golwg y Mynydd in Godrergraig, and Teresa Morgan-Peters, 45, of Dolfain in Ystradgynlais, were arrested following the incident on Pen-y-Bryn in Ystradgynlais in the early hours of November 1.

Both denied charges of burglary with intent to inflict GBH on the complainant, and wounding with intent.

Both defendants denied having a bladed article/knife in a public place – referring to a Stanley Knife – while Morgan-Peters denied having a ‘lock knife’ at Pen-y-Bryn on November 1.

Morgan-Peters has pleaded guilty to unlawful wounding, which Llewellyn denies.

Prosecutor Robin Rouch said the complainant suffered knife injuries to her face, neck, arm, back, and thigh.

The jury at Swansea Crown Court today heard what the complainant told the police from her hospital bed following the attack.

The complainant said she fell asleep on the sofa with her dog, and was woken up by her phone after 1am.

It was a private number, and she said there was no answer. This happened again, and on the third occasion, the complainant didn’t hang up, instead just leaving the call running.

“They started laughing,” she told police. “Like clowns cackling.”

The court heard that she had forgotten to lock the door to her flat that night, and her dog noticed people coming in.

“I thought it must be one of my mates clowning around with Hallowe’en,” she said.

She said she then saw two figures coming down the hallway in “clown masks”.

“She started coming at me with a Stanley knife,” she said.

“Then the other one came at me and I had bleach thrown at me.

“They didn’t say nothing.”

The complainant said she pulled one of the attackers’ masks off but was unable to make out who it was – only that it was a white woman.

The complainant said she managed to get out of the flat, and ran to a friend’s home.

“My adrenaline was going,” she said. “I didn’t know it was bleach at the time. I couldn’t smell it, I couldn’t taste it, I couldn’t feel it.

"I only knew about it when I went to my neighbour’s and my black pyjama top was orange.

“She was going to kill me. They wanted me dead. They knew exactly what they were doing. It was planned; it was vicious; it was co-ordinated.”

The complainant heard from her step-father that Llewellyn had posted explicit “nonsense” about her on Facebook, so, on October 31, messaged Llewellyn’s partner – who she knew – asking if he could get her to stop.

He replied ‘Watch your f****** back. Don’t f*** with me’ and said she should go to Llewellyn’s home to take it up with her, she told police.

David Leathley, representing Llewellyn, asked the complainant what the person’s face looked like when she ripped off the mask.

“I don’t know who they were. I couldn’t see her face,” she said.

Mr Leathley said Llewellyn had “distinctive” tattoos and piercings.

The complainant said her attackers had the same “body figures and body types” as Llewellyn – who she identified as “the smaller one” – and Morgan-Peters – who she referred to as “the bigger one”.

She said the “smaller one” was the one with the knife.

Nicola Powell, representing Morgan-Peters, asked the complainant if she had ever had any issues with her client.

“Never,” she said. “This is what shocked me.

“She was lovely.

“It’s a shame as I really thought a lot of her.”

Ms Powell asked the complainant about when she told the police that the “big one hesitated and stood back”.

“She done her job. She bleached me,” the complainant said. “She got me down so the other one could finish the job.”

The complainant rebuked Ms Powell’s suggestion that Morgan-Peters aided her by stepping in an pushed Llewellyn.

The trial continues.
