A woman faces jail after launching a vicious hammer attack on three Jehovah's Witnesses when they knocked on her front door.

Kerry Mitchell picked up a hammer and took swings at the Jehovah's Witnesses, hitting one in the face and another on the shoulder, after they knocked on her door in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.

Sevenoaks Magistrates Court heard this week how the 44-year-old 'lost it' when she opened to the door to find the three believers standing outside.

James Nichols, prosecuting, said Mitchell made contact with two of the victims, saying that 'one was hit in the face and another caught on the shoulder'.

Mitchell pleaded guilty to three counts of assault by beating, one count of possession of an offensive weapon and religiously aggravated harassment.

JPs decided that the case was so serious it should be sent to Maidstone Crown Court for sentencing, and Mitchell was released on bail ahead of sentencing.
