A mum-of-four who was attacked by an axe-wielding madman has told how the last words she heard before blacking out was her five-year-old daughter begging: 'Don’t hit my mum'. Andrea McDermott, 43, has been left with life-changing facial injuries and PTSD after neighbour John Hughes launched the unprovoked assault , which almost killed her.
Andrea suffered multiple facial and scalp wounds which had ripped the skin exposing the bone as well as several skull fractures, a brain bleed and fractures of the upper and lower jaw.
