Woman told to double hair rage compo offer

A judge has advised a female attacker to double an offer of compensation after a young woman, who had clumps of hair pulled from her head, was left with bald patches for several months.

Judge Olann Kelleher read the victim impact report of an extremely upset young woman and said it was a matter of great concern she was left with a bald patch for a number of months.

She had been so embarrassed and self-conscious she would go directly from work to home and remain there every night because she did not want to be seen in public.
