Jeanette Irvine believed she'd never see her six children again after suffering a nine inch wound to her throat at De Vito's nightclub in Arbroath, Angus.
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 in July 2022.
She said: “I’ve never been so scared in my whole life. I honestly thought I was never going to see my kids again. “It’s really damaged my mental health. I'm glad that she has been sent to prison and it wasn’t just community service or anything like that. It feels like justice has been served.Jeanette said that she had never met Huggan before the night of her attack and still has no idea why she was targeted.
