A FEMALE thug who attacked her lover then posed for photos in the blood-soaked aftermath has been jailed for 14 months.

Samantha Hawkins left Robert Govan, 27, scarred for life after smacking him with a glass bottle in December 2017.

The 24-year-old struck after a row at her home in Scotstoun.

Hawkins took sick snaps surrounded by a pool of blood and later showed them to a witness.

She pleaded guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to three assaults and failing to attend a court date.

Sheriff Ian Miller told Hawkins when jailing her on Monday that the custodial threshold had been met.

Sheriff Miller said: “The nature of these offences puts them in concerning category due to the repeated resort to violence.

“You lost your temper and self-control.

“This was vicious assault where he lost a quantity of blood and has left a permanent effect on him.”

Sheriff Miller also put Hawkins under supervision for six months after her release from custody and a granted a one-year non-harassment order.

An earlier hearing was told it was claimed Mr Govan, 27, had initially lashed out at Hawkins.

Hawkins later captured pictures of what happened on her mobile phone before showing them to a witness.

Prosecutor Mark Allan said: “There were photographs of her lying on a mattress with a large pool of blood on her head and pictures of blood splatter on the walls and floor.”

The other person was concerned enough to alert police.

When officers arrived, they found a broken bottle and a blood-stained Celtic top.

Mr Govan was in the bath trying to clean his wounds.

Hawkins told officers: “We said he fell down the stairs but that didn’t happen. I know I’ve done something wrong.”

Mr Govan needed treatment for injuries to his head and eyebrow.

Despite what happened, Hawkins carried out a copycat attack on Mr Govan at a flat in the city’s Maryhill in May 2019.

Mr Govan stepped in after Hawkins initially punched another woman.

But, he was then bottled again leaving him “covered in blood”. Mr Govan suffered a head wound.

Hawkins had been due to face the allegations in February, but was not in the dock after she “slept in”.

Umar Hussain, defending, told the court Hawkins shared a cell in custody with her mother who is serving a life sentence.

He said: “There was a realisation that this wasn’t the life she wished to be engaged with.

“She accepts she should have left the flat on these occasions - when things were getting bad, she should have removed herself.”
