Three men jailed for assaulting women

Two women were viciously assaulted by three young Cork men who chanted at them, “fucking gypsies, fucking Muslims, fucking terrorists” and then ran away laughing, leaving one with a broken eye socket.

Young Dutch woman Ester Everston, who had her eye socket fractured, said: “How could these guys be so mean? They hit and kicked girls, hitting and kicking my friend on the ground, three against one. I still cannot believe what happened.”

Her friend Kathrin Rashid, whose parents are German and Palestinian, said she could still hear the sound of Ms Everston’s bone being broken.
