Possible 2 and a half years served for this...A man has been sentenced to eight-and-a-half years' jail for severing a woman's tongue.
Mohammed Tasleem Tahir was in a relationship with Catherine Skinner in Adelaide, and when she moved to the Gold Coast, he followed her.
The Southport District Court heard in November 2010, the then 21-year-old attacked Ms Skinner in her apartment.
The Crown prosecutor told the court Tahir smashed an empty bottle over the 20-year-old's head several times, fracturing her eye socket.
Tahir then dragged a knife across her face, cutting her mouth and severing her tongue, the court heard.
Judge Katherine McGinness sentenced Tahir to eight-and-a-half years' jail.
She ordered he be eligible for parole after serving a third of his sentence.
A woman in the public gallery gasped when the judge explained that, due to time already served, Tahir could be released in September next year.
