Husband keyed ‘selfish’ and ‘adulterer’ onto wife’s car

A mother has received the protection of the courts from her husband after he keyed ‘adulterer’ onto the body of her car.

At the family court in Ennis, Judge Patrick Durcan granted a safety order for 12 months to the woman after he heard evidence that the man had, along with ‘keying’ his wife’s car, also slashed the tyres of the vehicle.

Judge Durcan said that “anyone who could do what he did with respect to her car is acting in a manner calculated to cause fear and anxiety and a feeling of threat within the person whom it is directed at”.
