Female hammer attacker, 24, is facing jail for brutal assault that left her victim covered in blood

A 24-year-old female hammer attacker is facing jail after committing a brutal assault that left her victim ‘covered in blood’. 

Kaya Price, of Newport, admitted causing grievous bodily harm to Naeema Nassa during the bloody attack in the city on May 2, 2021.  

Stephen Thomas, representing the defendant, asked for the case to be adjourned for a pre-sentence report. 

He said Price has a previous conviction for common assault in 2020, according to South Wales Argus.

Price is set to be sentenced on February 17 and has been granted bail

The defendant had faced a trial later this year for the more serious charge of causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

But prosecutor Gareth James told Newport Crown Court Price’s guilty plea to the lesser charge was acceptable.

Judge Lucy Crowther warned the defendant: ‘All sentencing options remain open.’ 

‘It’s in your interest to cooperate with probation as they will be looking for alternatives to custody,’ she added. 

Price is set to be sentenced on February 17 after being granted bail.
