A 15-year-old boy pleaded guilty yesterday to his part in an aggravated burglary where a householder was ordered to strip naked as a kettle of boiling water was thrown at him.

Judge Patrick J Moran said the defendant could not be named as he was a juvenile. The teenager was arraigned at Cork Circuit Criminal Court yesterday.

He pleaded guilty to aggravated burglary while armed with a knife and assault causing harm to the 36-year-old householder.
