A mother of five is behind bars after stabbing a relative with a broken glass bottle after she refused to share her alcohol during a drunken night out.
Betty Anne Buzzacott, 34, was sentenced to more than two years in prison after a jury found her guilty of causing harm with intent to cause harm.
The court heard he had been drinking with a group of people, including the victim, in Port Augusta, South Australia, on February 23, 2023.
The couple ended up in the coastal area near the Oasis apartments.
The court heard the victim stopped sharing her alcohol with Buzzacott, sparking the anger of the mother-of-five. The advertiser reported.
“You grabbed an empty bottle and smashed it against the rocks,” Deputy Judge Gordon Barrett told Buzzacott.
‘You then went towards the victim and hit him with a bottle from behind.’
The court heard the victim did not immediately realise she had been stabbed but soon noticed she was bleeding profusely.
Betty Anne Buzzacott, 34, (pictured), had been drinking with a group of people when she became aggressive towards her relative when they no longer wanted to share their alcohol.
The mother-of-five (pictured) smashed a bottle against rocks before stabbing her relative, who suffered a deep wound to the left side of his jaw.
She went to the Oasis Apartments, where she was assisted by two off-duty paramedics.
The woman suffered a large cut between 5 and 6 centimeters deep on the left side of her jaw, near her ear.
A doctor who treated the woman estimated that she lost about 100 ml of blood in the attack.
The court also heard that Buzzacott has a problem with alcohol.
She was sentenced to two years and two months in prison with a non-parole period of one year and two months.
The women had been drinking and ended up on the Port Augusta shoreline near the Oasis Apartments (pictured).
“You broke a bottle and used it to stab someone who had not provoked you at all,” the judge told Buzzacott.
‘Your victim is a relative and you will have to answer to her or her family when you get out of prison.’
Buzzacott’s sentence was retroactive to June 27.
