Wheel-brace attack on retired teacher

A RETIRED schoolteacher was given a bad beating by two teenagers armed with wheel-braces as he sat in his car.

Yesterday the culprits were jailed for a week to give the judge time to decide on sentences for one of the worst assaults he had seen.

Jamie Staunton, aged 18, of 44 Hollyville Estate, Grange, Co Cork, and Derrick Murphy, aged 20, of 42 East Avenue, Park Gate, Frankfield, Co Cork, were both remanded in custody by Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin until December 8.
