The case, which was reported by The Sun, noted that the dispute began over something relatively minor: Hannah's younger sister refusing to go to the shops.

The disagreement between the two sisters escalated quickly, ultimately turning physical.

Hannah acknowledged in court that she had punched her sister and shoved her to a bed but argued the act was one of self-defence rather than aggression.
