A judge has issued a warrant for the arrest of a mum-of-three who hit a love rival in the face with the point of her stiletto shoe in a drunken attack.

Kathleen Shiel, who was spared jail for the violent attack, was due before Swindon Crown Court accused of failing to comply with the terms of a suspended sentence.

But when the 29-year-old failed to turn up for the hearing Judge Tim Mousley QC issued a warrant without bail to get her before the court.

Shiel, formerly of Littlecote Close, Westlea, but now living in Lambrok, Trowbridge, got eight months suspended for 18 months after admitting actual bodily harm.

She plunged the high heel into the temple of Milena O'Connell, who she said had stolen the father of one of her children, after they left the Lava Lounge.
