Investigation team doubled in search for brutal sex attacker

GARDAÍ have doubled the size of the investigation team hunting a man who subjected a woman to a brutal sexual assault as she walked home from bingo.

Twenty-five gardaí working on the case yesterday were following several lines of inquiry into the savage and prolonged attack on the woman in Charleville, north Cork, on Sunday night.

Supt Pat McCarthy said they have been getting great co-operation from the public but still appealed to anyone with any information to contact them.
