An angry wife lashed out at a work colleague of her husband after he invited her back to their home after a night out, a court heard. 

Kay Sealy, 35, assaulted Charlotte Akomfrah by throwing her own shoes at her as she walked out of her bathroom in her underwear following a work do in Dublin with Sealy's husband Ciaran.

Ms Akomfrah told Tallaght district court in Dublin that Mr Sealy had invited her back to his home, claiming he was in an 'open relationship'.

The Irish Mirror said the pair shared a taxi after leaving the city centre and began kissing, which continued at the house up until Ms Akomfrah, 27, went to the bathroom.

She explained how while she was in the room, someone started tugging at the door handle. 

'I said I would be out in a minute,' she added. 'When I came out I heard a woman screaming, calling me names, calling me a b****.

'She started hitting me with my shoes. I saw my head was pumping blood.'

She added that she could see a man standing nearby, who when she asked to help her simply shook his head.

Sealy said she had heard noise coming from the house's living room, believing it to be a burglar.

She said she discovered Ms Akomfrah in her underwear and repeatedly asked her to leave the premises, which she refused.

Christopher Merriman, a lodger living at the house at the time, told the court how the complainant was 'standing nude' and that Sealy had pushed her out of the door.

Sealy's defence said she did not deny throwing the shoes, but added: 'In terms of recklessness, once she discovered the truth no wife in Ireland would have acted differently.

'The villain of the piece was not before the court.'

Judge Coughlan found Sealy, 35, from Deerpark Place, Tallaght, guilty of assault, fining her €75.
