Three teenagers jailed for roles in aggravated burglary

Three teenagers have been jailed for an aggravated burglary during which threats were made to rape a woman and to cut off her son’s fingers with a meat cleaver.

Two accused were aged 16, and one aged 17, last November, when they and two others broke down the door of the woman’s Dublin home and overpowered her, before demanding money.

During the early-morning attack, an unidentified raider took his penis out and said he would rape the woman while her 10-year-old son was present.
