Mother of two tells of bashing terror

Anne-Louise Brown

Time will fade the scars on her face but the terror of the bashing that nearly ended her life will stay with a Maryborough woman forever.

The voice of the 41-year-old mother of two falters as she recalls the night of May 17 when, it is alleged, she was brutally assaulted by a female teen in Maryborough's CBD.

"I'm lucky to be here at all," said the woman, who asked not to be identified for fear of retribution.

"I thought I was going to die. It was unprovoked and all I was doing was having a night out with my kids. This violence has to stop and that's why I'm speaking out."
