SUZIE McGuire has been cleared of attacking her brute husband with the heel of her Christian Louboutin stiletto.

The ex-Radio Clyde DJ had been accused of assaulting accountant Derek Mitchell with the designer shoe during a bust-up at their home.

Suzie spent two days in a police cell and appeared in court following her arrest in December 2012.

But the 45-year-old has been told by the Crown Office the charges have been dropped.

The mum of four got the news weeks after Mitchell was convicted of abusing her.

He was found guilty of attacking Suzie at Paisley Sheriff Court on November 17.

Suzie said: “After a nightmare two years, I have now been told I will not be prosecuted for the claims made by a man who was actually abusing me.

“Instead of charging the real perpetrator, police seemed to believe my husband and I was taken from my home in the middle of the night, thrown into a police cell for two days and put on suicide watch with cameras watching me.”

She added: “I still find it hard to talk about what happened. I’d never felt more alone or scared.

“I was breast-feeding my daughter Poppy and was seriously ill with an infected Caesarean scar, but I was refused antibiotics and post-natal depression medication, and my baby had to be bottle fed.

“Two uniformed policemen even took me to hospital so doctors could X-ray injuries Derek had inflicted on my hand. They sat with me, clearly under arrest, for four hours, in a crowded waiting room.

“Then I was handcuffed and taken to court in a prison vehicle, and had to listen to attempts to prevent me getting bail. It didn’t seem to matter I was the real victim.

“As far as they were concerned, they had a high-profile domestic abuser and it seemed the system was determined to make an example of me.”

Mitchell was found guilty of breaking Suzie’s finger, permanently disfiguring and disabling her for life.

He will be sentenced at Paisley Sheriff Court on December 15.

Suzie said: “Domestic abuse victims should come forward and trust that truth and justice will prevail.

“When I found the strength to speak out, I was supported through the system and Derek now faces jail. I’m free from the monster I married.”

A spokesman for the Crown Office said:“The case against Susan McGuire or Mitchell has been carefully examined by Crown counsel.

“A full review of the evidence which emerged during the trial of Derek Mitchell has also been carried out.

“Crown counsel have decided there should be no further action.”

A police spokeswoman said: “We can confirm a 43-year-old woman was arrested in connection with an alleged assault.

“Routine custody procedures were followed.”
