Jealous girlfriend bites off man's ear... and her dog EATS it

A jealous girlfriend bit off her boyfriend's ear in a drink-fueled rage but the severed lobe could not be sewn back on because her dog Alfie ate it.

Unemployed mother-of-five June Thomson, 44, bit off the bottom of Trevor Wainman's left ear after a night out in the Ship Inn, Sutton, East Yorkshire.



A court heard that when the couple returned to Mr Wainman's flat in Hull, Mrs Thomson flew into a rage because a barmaid had bought Mr Wainman a drink for his birthday.



Scarred for life: Trevor Wainman had a chunk of his ear bitten off and presumes it was eaten by June Thomson's dog

Mrs Thomson bit off a 2cm square of flesh from his ear and spat it out on the floor.



Mr Wainman called 999 and when police arrived they conducted a search for the missing ear to put it on ice.



However, the flesh could not be found and all concerned assume that Alfie, Mrs Thomson's Yorkshire Terrier, ate it.

Mrs Thomson, of Bransholme, Hull, pleaded guilty to a charge of causing grievous bodily harm.

The injury now looks less severe than at the time of the attack because it has, in part, grown back.



June Thomson: pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm

But Detective Constable Sam Chester of Humberside Police said: 'The attack has left him with lasting injuries.

'He is lucky it has not been worse than it actually was, with more damage done.

'The officers searched the flat for the missing part of the ear, but were unable to find it.



'We believe the dog ate it.

'This case bring to the forefront that males are also victims of domestic violence.

'These cases are treated very seriously.



'Domestic violence on men happens a lot and would urge victims to have the courage and come forward to seek help.'



Mr Wainman, who said Mrs Thomson had been mixing cocktails with Guinness with shots of double Pernod and Black on the evening in question, said she had also lost her temper in the pub earlier that night.

'She became very loud and began swearing and was asked to leave by the landlord,' he said.



'She lunged at my ear and sank her teeth into my ear, then spat it out.



'It was just savage.'



Mr Wainman said the woman he had been dating for 14 months had attacked him twice previously.

'She had been violent before, but never this bad,' said Mr Wainman.

'If it had been me who had attacked her, I would have been sent to jail straight away.



'I lost work at Christmas the busiest time of year for a chef.



'No one should put up with abuse and I would urge other people to seek help and just get out of the relationship.'
