A MUM who was left with a nine-inch scar on her neck after she was slashed in a nightclub has told how "justice has been served" as her attacker was jailed.

Jeanette Irvine, 51, feared she would never see her children again when violent thug Marie Huggan sliced her throat open with a bottle in an unprovoked attack at De Vito's in Arbroath two years ago.

Jeanette needed 11 stitches to close the gaping wound after believing she would "bleed out and die" on the dancefloor.

Huggan, 44, was locked up for nine months at Dundee Sheriff Court on Thursday after admitting she "deserves everything she gets" over the vicious assault. Mum-of-six Jeanette told the Record she has been left suffering from PTSD.
