Men guilty of assaulting woman and her mother

Two men, who had charges of throwing a lighting petrol bomb into an apartment withdrawn against them in the middle of a trial, have been found guilty of assaulting a woman and her mother.

The jury of five women and seven men took two and a half hours to reach their unanimous guilty verdict against each of the accused.

Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin said to the two accused: “Your status has now changed irrevocably.”
