A WOMAN has appeared in court charged with attacking another woman with a stiletto shoe in a nightclub.

Natalie Jeffery, 23, is accused of striking Sophie Roberts in the face at Unit 7, Festival Leisure Park, Basildon.

Ms Roberts, in her 20s, suffered facial injuries at about 3am on September 18, 2016.

Jeffery of Tantelen Road, Canvey, was formally charged with inflicting grievous bodily harm (GBH) in a brief hearing at Basildon Magistrates’ Court.

Wearing glasses, a white top and a long black cardigan, she spoke only to confirm her name, age and address. No pleas were taken.

She was bailed to appear at Basildon Crown Court on March 23 for a plea and trial preparation hearing.
