A shocking incident unfolded in Bridgend as Shelley Bowen, 36, was sentenced to four years in prison after repeatedly stabbing her former neighbour, Felicity Symes, in a vicious attack outside Symes’ residence. The assault, which left Symes with severe injuries including a punctured lung and a finger hanging off her hand, stemmed from mounting tensions between the two individuals.
The distressing events occurred on September 4 last year, when Bowen arrived at Bryncethin in an orange BMW M3 and deliberately rammed her vehicle into Symes’ parked Kia. Children in the vicinity witnessed the collision, prompting Symes to confront Bowen regarding her reckless driving. However, the confrontation quickly escalated into a violent altercation as Bowen emerged from her car armed with a six-inch kitchen knife, attacking Symes with multiple stab wounds.
