Gardaí prepare file for DPP as two freed over attacks

GARDAÍ are preparing a file for the DPP after releasing without charge two teenagers who were questioned about two attacks on women in Cork City on the same night before Christmas.

The men, aged 18 and 19, were released around midnight yesterday after being questioned throughout Tuesday in connection with the sexual assault of a young woman in the grounds of a city church, and an earlier aggravated assault on another woman near a city hospital last month.

Gardaí launched a major investigation after a woman in her 30s was attacked in the Dennehy’s Cross area by two men at about 3am on Saturday.
