Man holds woman hostage, attempts to gouge out her eye with a hook. - Polidicks

Francis Murphy, 26, denies two charges of attempting to murder Natalie Farrell at Dalfield Court in the city. It is alleged Ms Farrell, 27, suffered the attack at a tower block in Dundee during two separate bids to kill her on the same day. Mr Murphy also denies assaulting her and another man. He is accused of holding Ms Farrell prisoner in a bedroom and attacking her before attempting to gouge out her eye with a metal hook and his fingers. A second attempted murder charge alleges she was attacked again on the eighth floor landing of the Dalfield block when Mr Murphy chased her from the flat. The charge states that he then tried to throw her over the balcony and "pulled and detached her eyeball" and threw it over the balcony. [/quote] A metal hook and his fingers sounds like a surprisingly difficult way of extracting an eye. Reminded me of this for some reason: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BtVW88YpFc[/media]

Holy fuck, that shit would be scary to get chased and have your eye torn out and thrown off an 8-story balcony

did he actually gouge out the eye?The information isn't really specific,it just said he "tried" and "attempted"

I'm guessing no. Attempted murder is the charge. She may have died if he'd removed it completely.

What the hell?! Dieing from having your eye completely removed?! Educate me please. I don't see that being realistic.
