Overview

• The alleged attack took place on October 15, 2022, after Ricky Lawrence invited Chloe Othen to his £1.5 million Knightsbridge apartment by text.
• Othen told jurors she feared for her life as Lawrence threatened to stab her and her partner, jeweller Bora Guccuk, who called police after hearing her screams.
• Medical evidence showed six bite marks, one of which became septic and necessitated a tetanus shot and a course of antibiotics.
• Messages recovered from Lawrence’s phone included threats that he would “f*** [her] up” when Othen arrived late at his flat.
• Lawrence denies one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, claiming Othen attacked him first and that he repeatedly asked her to leave.
