Mum BIT rival's lip off in brutal garden fight after row between their teen daughters escalates

A mum bit part of a woman's lip off after a row over their teenage daughters escalated into brutal violence.

Holly Maughan went to the other parent's house and sank her teeth into her victim's bottom lip before ripping out a 'large' chunk of flesh and spitting it out, a court heard. Her victim needed extensive surgery but still has a scar from the brutal attack.
