A mum has said she is scared for her life after finding out that the man who gouged her eyes out has been moved to an open prison.<\/p>\n

Tina Nash, 44, is now blind after she was attacked by her former partner<\/a> Shane Jenkin in April 2011.<\/p>\n

Jenkin kept Tina, from Cornwall<\/a>, hostage for 12 hours during the attack in which he also broke her nose, jaw and strangled her. Her two sons were sleeping in the room next door at the time.<\/p>\n

Jenkin was handed a life sentence at Truro Crown Court in May 2012 with a minimum term of six years after he admitted grievous bodily harm (GBH). He was later detained in a secure mental health unit.<\/p>\n

Jenkin has now been moved to an open prison from March this year, despite six bids for parole rejected according to the Parole Board for England and Wales.<\/p>\n

Under open prison conditions, Jenkin will be able to leave the prison on licence for short periods if a family member is ill or if he is taking part in paid or unpaid work.<\/p>\n

She said: \u2018I\u2019m really scared, because I don\u2019t think he\u2019ll leave it, especially because I\u2019ve spoken out about what he\u2019s done.<\/p>\n

\u2018I think that he has been sitting there this whole entire time kicking himself that he did not finish me off.\u2019<\/p>\n

Recalling the night of the attack, she described he attacked her, strangling her before rolling her up in a blanket where she continued to be strangled.<\/p>\n
