‘Butcher’ who cut off artist’s fingers receives 16 years
Judge Tony Hunt described James Kenny’s attack on the victim “a talented artist” as “unspeakable, almost medieval barbarity” and said the woman had been left with a constant physical reminder “of the horror visited upon her”.
Kenny, aged 35, of Eden Block, Prospect Hill, Dublin, pleaded guilty to aggravated burglary with a knife and machete and to intentionally or recklessly causing serious harm to the woman on September 2, 2009.
