TWO women have admitted a horrific attack on a teenage boy in Johnstone that left him with a bleed to the brain and scarred for life.

Agnes Bowers, 27, and Nora Holmes, 24, turned on their victim, who was just 17 at the time, at his Graham Street home on October 4, 2019.

Holmes battered the youngster with a bottle of vodka before the pair punched, kicked and stamped on his head.

The thugs also tried to write on their stricken victim’s leg with broken glass during the brutal attack.

At the High Court in Glasgow today, they admitted assaulting the teenager to his severe injury, permanent disfigurement and danger of his life.

The court heard there had been issues raised before the attack regarding allegations against the teenager.

Violence erupted when Bowers and Holmes went to the flat where the youngster and others were.

Prosecutor Paul Kearney told the court: “Holmes began an assault by smashing a vodka bottle on his head.

“She then dragged him from the couch and the two accused kicked, punched and stamped on his head, then kicked and punched him on the body.

“Holmes called him a paedo and a beast in the course of the attack and she repeatedly struck his head off a wall.”

The crying victim pleaded with the pair to stop but was repeatedly called a beast by Holmes.

The attackers then cut his body, arms and legs with the broken glass.

A witness later told police: “It looked to me like they were trying to write something on his legs with the glass.”

The victim pleaded with a girl there to call the police but she feared what would happen to her if she did.

The living room was described as being like the scene of a “bloodbath,” with walls and furniture stained.

The victim, who wasn’t moving, was covered in blood and a 999 call was eventually made.

Officers arrived and were told by Holmes that she had visited the flat to confront the teenager but “things got out of control.”

She said: “It’s all on me. I think I went too far, I need a lawyer.”

The victim was taken to hospital for treatment to multiple wounds to his face, body and all four limbs.

He suffered a blunt force injury which caused a bleed to the brain and had a 10cm cut on his jugular vein, as well as fractured nasal bones.

It was revealed that he lost a significant amount of blood and required two one-litre transfusions.

Mr Kearney added: “The wounds will leave permanent scars but there will be no loss of function.

“His life was put in danger by the injuries and, without medical treatment and blood transfusion, he would have died.”

Sentence on both women was deferred until next month for background reports by judge Lord Burns.

Bowers, of Roystonhill, Glasgow, and Holmes, who appeared from custody, were remanded.
