Infamous mother & daughter in NSW avoid conviction for affray charges

The mother and daughter at the centre of an infamous supermarket brawl have had their convictions for affray charges quashed on appeal.

61-year-old Treiza Bebawy and her 23-year-old daughter, Meriam Bebawy, made worldwide headlines after being filmed in a supermarket fight over toilet paper.

This was in the midst of panic buying at the height of the pandemic.

The pair were found guilty and received criminal convictions in the Local Court.

However, on appeal the findings of guilt were set aside and the two women escaped without a criminal record.

What happened?

On 7 March 2020, the mother & daughter attended Chullora Woolworths in south-west Sydney.

At the time there were massive shortages of toilet paper due to a spate of panic buying.
