Beautician boasted she helped sister get 'wedding ready' days after they attacked elderly couple

A beautician who attacked an elderly couple proudly boasted that she helped make her sister 'wedding ready' days after the incident. Siblings Julia and Jessica Shelley were sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court on Friday (December 12) after they were involved in a 'tussle' that left a frail old man with permanent scars.
