Princess Owusu-Ansah of Royston, Hertfordshire, who live-streamed an attack in which she poured boiling water over a love rival has been jailed.
18-year-old Ghanaian also stabbed her victim in the leg in revenge over cheating allegations involving her boyfriend.
The incident took place at the victim’s house in East Dulwich on February 2 as Owusu-Ansah let herself into her former-friend’s home and went on the attack.
The harrowing video clip showed the victim cowering under a duvet. Seconds before launching the attack, Owusu Ansah is heard accusing the other woman of sleeping with ‘people’s man’.
After delivering a series of punches, she grabs a silver knife and bangs it on the radiator before stabbing her victim in the leg.
She then screams in pain as Owusu Ansah takes a kettle of boiling water and throws it over her.
After chucking the searing water the victim fell screaming between the bed and the wall, to which Owusu-Ansah yelled ‘don’t embarrass me’ and ‘don’t piss me off, I’ve got a knife’ before climbing on the bed and bashing the weapon against the wall.
The victim begged ‘please, please’ as she hit the blade against the victim. Owusu-Ansah also trashed the woman’s room, smashing sentimental items.
The survivor managed to flee to the street and call for help, and was later treated at Kings College Hospital south east London for non-life threatening stab wounds.
A member of the public saw the video live streamed on February 2 and called the police.
At Inner London Crown Court Owusu-Ansah pleaded guilty to grievous bodily harm with intent and criminal damage.
Owusu-Ansah was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment for grievous bodily harm with intent and criminal damage by Croydon Magistrates’ Court.
Speaking after the sentencing, Detective constable Abigail Ellyatt said ‘I hope this result brings the victim some comfort in knowing this violent offender has been brought to justice, and I admire the strength and courage she has shown throughout.’
