SIBU: A housewife ended up with 12 stitches on her  face after a frustrated housemate swung a broken bottle at her at 10pm on Saturday.

The 35-year-old was having a drinking session with housemates in the guestroom of a shophouse at Foochow Lane when the incident erupted.

The woman (suspect) in her 20s, a cleaner at Central Market, was also holding a drinking session in her room.

She got out from the room and asked the victim about her husband’s whereabouts.

“When I failed to respond to her, she grabbed a liquor bottle, smashed it on a hard surface and attacked me with the broken bottle,” the injured housewife told reporters at Sibu Central Police Station here yesterday after lodging a police report.

“I was trying to avoid the assault but failed.”

According to her husband who accompanied her to the police station, he was watching television when the squabble broke out.

“I only got to know about it when I heard my wife’s scream.”

An ambulance was summoned and sent the victim to hospital where the gash on her face was sewn up.
