A woman who stabbed and threw boiling water at her victim, while live-streaming the horrific East Dulwich attack on Snapchat, has been jailed for three years.
Eighteen-year-old Princess Owusu-Ansah of Royston, Hertfordshire, pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent and criminal damage.
In the distressing video, which flooded social media, Owusu launched a terrifying attack on her victim, on Thursday, February 2.
Owusu visited her victim at her East Dulwich home, where she accused her of being a love rival.
As her victim cowered beneath a duvet corner in the corner of a bedroom, Owusu stabbed her and hurled boiling hot water at her from a kettle.
In the video, Owusu can be heard yelling “d*n’t piss me off” and even turns to the camera and grins during the attack.
Her distraught victim can be heard screaming in terror and begging Owusu to stop. At one point she can be heard saying “I give up”.
Owusu also damaged several sentimental items.
The victim was taken to hospital with stab injuries which were assessed as non-life threatening and Owusu was later arrested.
She pleaded guilty at Croydon Magistrates’ Court on Monday, March 6 and was sentenced at the same court on Tuesday, May 9.
DC Abigail Ellyatt from Central South Command Unit said: “I hope this result brings the victim some comfort in knowing this violent offender has been brought to justice, and I admire the strength and courage she has shown throughout.”
