Bound woman too shaken to speak of ordeal

THE WOMAN who was tied up and gagged for two days by her partner is still too shaken to speak about what happened.

Collette Keane, 54, is recovering in hospital, more than a week after she was discovered in her Roscommon home, bound to her bed, with a sponge stuffed in her mouth.

A family friend said yesterday she is unable to sleep and cannot stop re-living what she was subjected to by Paul Timothy, whose body was later recovered from the sea off the Cliffs of Moher.
