A teenaged British girl has been sentenced to 10 years in jail for murdering a rival by stabbing her in the head with an Afro comb, which usually has a handle and long teeth used especially on curly hair.
Rebecca Douglas, then 15, spiked Julie Sheriff in the head with the comb’s handle after a row over boys in south London, The Sun reported.
As a judge passed sentence on Douglas, 16, he lifted an order protecting her identity.
She was told by the judge that the attack on victim Sheriff had led to “appalling consequences”.
