A Victorian ice addict who brutally injured two elderly women while on a drug-fueled crime spree will spend up to six years in jail.
Tammy Phillips appeared in court on Thursday pleading guilty to ten offences for the horrific attacks, a year after she was arrested in Kerang, a rural town 25 kilometres from the Murray River.
As 87-year-old Mavis Dillon loaded her walking frame into her car 34-year-old Philips, from Shepparton, pushed her onto the ground and beat her.
She then ripped the keys from the elderly woman's neck and took off in her car.
'I've never been frightened in my life, I've been through lots of things and I've survived, but this one I'm going to live it for a while yet,' Mavis Dillon told 7 News.
She later turned her aggression to a second senior citizen, using a fake gun to threaten the pensioner in front of her granddaughter.
Both victims were hospitalised and have been left traumatised as a result of the incidents, now battling with anxiety and depression.
They have lost their independence and one of the two women now lives in a mental institution.
Despite Philips having a difficult life, which includes prostitution and drug and alcohol abuse while suffering an intellectual disability with a severe personality disorder, the judge could not excuse her crimes.
'You broke the face bone of an 87-year-old lady and another lady is living in a mental asylum because of what you did to her,' County Court judge Elizabeth Gaynor said.
Judge Gaynor said Philips' pitiful life meant she was a danger to others and she was sentenced to a maximum of six years in jail.
