Residents want mugger out of city

Kilkenny residents want a Polish man released from prison following his conviction for mugging a pensioner to leave the city.

Mariusz Chelstowski, 36, was sentenced to two years in prison in February for robbery, but with the final six months suspended on the proviso that he leave the country on release.

The victim in the robbery, Mary Nolan, 86, was targeted by Chelstowski as she made her way home from Mass on July 10 last year.
