Escaped patient terrorises children in their home
The patient, who was being treated at the Mid-Western Regional Hospital in Limerick, entered the sitting room of the house at Gouldavoher Estate shortly after 6pm after breaking the patio door with a cement block. The children, aged between six and 16, were watching TV at the time.
The children’s father, Michael Vaughan, was collecting his wife from work at the time. A neighbour who heard screams came to the children’s rescue.
