Two women who beat a teenage girl with a rock and a stick, causing injuries to her head, were yesterday sentenced to two years behind bars.

A Supreme Court jury found Garrina Cann, 21, and Trimiea Roland, 22, guilty of the February 2 attack on Brittany Symonds back in August.

The 17-year-old required multiple staples and stitches as a result of the wounds.

Puisne Judge Charles-Etta Simmons sentenced the defendants to a total of four years — two years in custody and two years suspended.

They were also given two years probation.

Roland is pregnant and due in December.

Miss Symonds had told the court during the trial that the women attacked her on Mount Road, St. David's after she refused to give Cann her cell phone.

The teenager said she was near the lighthouse looking for a friend who had walked off, when she was confronted by the 21-year-old.

"She told me to give her my phone. I said no. I didn't know if she would have give it back or not," she told the jury.

She said Cann was accompanied by two people she didn't know — Marcus Fox and Roland.

Miss Symonds said she went to walk away, but Cann hit her on the head with an 18-inch long stick five or six times and then told the other girl, later identified as Roland, to hit her.

The teenager said Roland picked up a rock around 12 inches wide and five inches tall from the road, and pushed her from behind into a wall.

Then, she said, Roland hit her on the head with the rock three times.

Miss Symonds said the beating stopped when her own friend arrived.
