A woman spared prison for slashing her mum during a row over milk has now been locked up by a judge "sick" of giving her chances to mend her ways.

Audrey Baut received a suspended sentence last September for attacking Chengetai Chizanga with broken glass at their home in Aylesham, near Dover.

But Judge Simon James this week said he had "no option" but to jail the 24-year-old as she had consistently flouted court orders in the year since - failing to attend a single probation appointment.

Canterbury Crown Court was last year told how Baut flew into a rage when the milk at her home ran out during a period of tough lockdown restrictions in February 2021.

A row broke out with her mother, who told Baut she would have to drive to the shop in heavy snow if she wanted to buy supplies.

Prosecutor Daniel Cohen previously told the court: "At some point the defendant went upstairs, the dispute continued and her mother grabbed her by the arm by way of placating her.

“At that point the defendant smashed a glass and proceeded to cut her mother twice, on her arm and hand, causing two relatively small wounds but wounds nonetheless.”

Mr Cohen added that Baut also grabbed and pulled her sister’s hair when she tried to intervene during the fracas.

Initially, Baut told the authorities her mum and sister, who refused to assist the prosecution, were the aggressors.

But she later admitted wounding and assault and was given a 10-month jail sentence, suspended for 18 months.

Judge James also ordered Baut to complete 25 activity days with probation, then subsequently increased the length of the suspension to two years after she refused to attend the sessions.

Baut had not attended a single appointment by the time she was sentenced on Tuesday.

Judge James said he was “sick” of giving Baut chances, given her “steadfast inability to change attitudes”.

Activating the sentence in full, he said: “I only have so much sympathy and patience, and you have used up that reservoir and more.”

Baut’s barrister said her mother, a mental health nurse, remained “concerned about her daughter’s mental health”.

“Clearly this was a serious assault, it was clearly a traumatic time for her mother, and it appears things have moved on and her concerns are for the welfare of her daughter, particularly her mental health,” he said.

He said Baut described herself as suffering from depression and anxiety, and hoped to find work to help alleviate the symptoms.

Baut, of Cherry Blossom Way, is expected to be released within the next two months having spent time on remand and curfew.
