Girls Attack Local Rival Outside Pub

A woman, who joined in an attack on her cousin's love-rival – landing punches and kicks on the victim outside a pub – has been sentenced for the “nasty incident.”

Kim Atley, 29, of Castlecombe Road, Eltham and two other women were pulled off their intended target by bouncers who work at the Earl of Chatham pub, (pictured) in Thomas Street, Woolwich.

CCTV captured Atley parking her BMW around the corner from the pub and approaching Kelly Loader, who was also struck by a beer bottle during the melee.

She was convicted after a trial of assaulting Ms Loader on October 7, last year and received a twelve-month community order, which includes 240 hours of community service work and was also ordered to pay £500 costs and a £60 victim surcharge.

The court heard the group were angered by the presence of Ms Loader at the pub, who was now dating Atley's cousin's ex-boyfriend.

There was a confrontation inside, but after the group left they drove around the block and returned to attack Ms Loader.

Atley was caught on CCTV grabbing hold of the victim and kicking her legs.
