A village pub landlady appeared in court yesterday accused of stabbing a staff member.
Luisa Santos, 46, allegedly plunged a kitchen knife into Hannah Pritchett's hip before pursuing the 18-year- old and attacking her for a second time.
A court heard the incident at the Three Horseshoes in Princethorpe, Warwickshire, occurred on Saturday lunchtime after the landlady had 'instructed' her partner to tell Miss Pritchett to leave.
Prosecutor Baldev Atwal said Santos told her partner 'there would be a confrontation if she (Miss Pritchett) didn't leave.'
He claimed: 'She went to the kitchen... and without warning, plunged the knife into Miss Pritchett's left hip.'
