‘I could feel the blood all over my face. I thought I was going to die. He just kept going’ – woman who survived assault by ex-partner

Niamh Kelly was brutally attacked and left with life-long injuries by Josh O’Brien, who was jailed this week

Niamh Kelly sat up in the hospital bed and turned the camera on her mobile phone to front-facing mode.

She hadn’t seen her face since the attack and as she stared back at her battered, bruised and bloodied reflection, she broke down in tears.
