A COUPLE were been sentenced on Monday (Dec 21) for a bizarre spate of violence at a Halloween dance held at the Kiln Park leisure complex at Tenby.

Victoria Rose Frayne, aged 38, was wearing a wedding dress complete with veil, and her husband Scott, 43, was dressed in a head-to-toe skeleton outfit.

But, Swansea Crown Court heard today, trouble began when Scott Frayne jumped onto the stage and began dancing with the professional performers.

Dean Pulling, prosecuting, said when bouncer Martin Duffy approached Scott Frayne he hit him with a stick with a toy skull on the end.

A struggle developed and both men fell to the ground.

Victoria Frayne jumped on top of them and bit off part of Mr Duffy’s left ear.

Victoria Frayne admitted unlawful wounding and her husband pleaded guilty to common assault.

Mr Pulling said Mr Duffy quit his job a few weeks later because of the injury.

He said he now felt that everyone was staring at him and although he underwent plastic surgery his ear would never be as it once was.

Barristers for the Fraynes, of The Hawthorns, Glyncoed, Cardiff, said many members of the audience had thought it was funny to see a skeleton dancing on the stage and said they had not set out to cause trouble.

Judge Paul Thomas said Scott Frayne had behaved “like a drunken oaf.”

He added, “No doubt you thought it was hilarious to spoil the entertainment. It was a ridiculously stupid act.

Judge Thomas said he accepted that Victoria Frayne may have thought her husband had been under attack but she had gone “far too far over the top” in biting Mr Duffy,

He said Mr Duffy was disfigured for life.

Victoria Frayne was jailed for 18 months, suspended for 12 months, and ordered to carry out 250 hours of unpaid work for the community.

Scott Frayne was jailed for eight weeks, suspended for 12 months, and told to work for 100 hours.
