A Kingston woman who sparked a huge fight outside a town centre pub and attacked a man in a separate incident has escaped time in prison.

Natalia Connelly, 35, of East Road, Kingston, received a suspended 18-month sentence when she appeared at Kingston Crown Court on March 24, for attacking Thomas Rixon last March, together with a 17-year-old who cannot be named.

The teenager was handed a youth rehabilitation order with supervision and 150 hours of community service.

Connelly was given an extra six months for affray after encouraging her brothers Craig Jones, 25, and Scott Mills-Jones, 27, both of Chelsea Close, Hampton Hill, and friend Jason Mayo, 29, of Fielding Avenue, Twickenham, to start a brawl outside the Kings Tun pub.
