"She said I was sleeping with her husband. Yes I was. I don't know what to say, I can't lie," Ms Margai said.

After denying the attack for almost two years, it was only when this vision was played in court that Mrs Kamara finally admitted to the assault and theft.

Ms Margai suffered a swollen eye, bruising to her face and a cut lip in the assault.

Police charged Mrs Kamara, 33, with the assault and theft of Ms Margai's iPhone, slippers and wig.

When asked by the Magistrate why she had resorted to violence, Mrs Kamara, who represented herself, was silent.

The Magistrate told her she had to deal with her anger issues before sentencing her to a 12 month good behaviour bond.
