Duo videoed themselves breaking guitar on man’s head

Two men videoed themselves breaking a guitar over a man’s head in the course of an assault so they could show the video to others with drugs debts what could happen to them if they did not pay.

Judge David Riordan said there was undoubtedly a sinister aspect to the case as he jailed one of the men for four years.

That sentence was imposed on 31-year-old Maksim Pararin of Upper Bridge St, Skibbereen, Co Cork, for assault causing harm to Adkadiusz Cydzik and falsely imprisoning him at his own home on Townsend St in the town for the assault.
