A Sigatoka woman convicted of biting a 24-year-old woman last year was handed a two-month suspended sentence by the High Court in Lautoka.
According to the court, the victim was searching for her partner who had a child with the 28-year-old accused.
She confronted the victim when she found him at the home of the accused.
The court heard that a heated confrontation erupted between the two parties resulting in the accused biting the 24-year-old’s arm.
A hospital examination proved that there were human bite marks on the complainant.
