Drug dealer videoed himself hitting man with guitar over €50 drug debt

Two men set up a video camera in another man’s house to record themselves breaking a guitar over his head over a €50 drug debt.

Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin sentenced one of them to six years in jail, with the last four years suspended on condition that he leave the country on completion of the two years in prison.

Garda Pauline Reid said she met the accused, Rytis Matelis, a Lithuanian, in Skibbereen later that day and he had the camera in his pocket with the video of the attack.
