Woman fractured friend's SKULL after pushing her head first downstairs in row over pair of jeans at house party

A woman pushed her friend down the stairs, fracturing her skull and leaving her unconscious, in a row over a pair of jeans at a house party.

Lorraine Farrin, 22, walked free from court after being convicted of causing grievous bodily harm.

The victim was taken home by friends without having any medical treatment, but woke up the following day with her pillow soaked with blood.

She went to hospital and a CT scan revealed her skull was fractured in two places and she had a perforated eardrum.
