STAR CHIMP ATTACK VICTIM'S FAMILY SUES
The family of a Connecticut woman fighting for her life after a savage star chimpanzee attack is suing the ape's owner for $50 million (GBP35.7 million).
Sandra Herold stabbed the acting chimp, called Travis, and beat him with a shovel in a bid to stop him ripping a visiting pal's face off before cops were forced to shoot the crazed primate.
But Charlotte Nash lost her hands, nose, lips and eyelids in the February (09) attack - and now her family members want compensation from her friend.
Nash, who has been left partially blind and could possibly be brain damaged, agreed to help Herold when Travis became unruly and refused to go back into his cage at her home.
The chimp appeared in a series of U.S. TV commercials, including one for clothing company Old Navy, opposite Morgan Fairchild.
