‘Demented’ assault on former partner

A "demented" assault by a man on his ex-partner saw her fear for her life.

The attack only stopped after a relative arrived on the scene.

Niall O’Callaghan of Chapel St, Castletownroche, Co Cork, pleaded guilty to a charge of assault causing harm to Lorna Fuller at her home at Kilquane, Castletownroche on July 8, 2013.
