Man held in meat cleaver assault case

Patrick Kolodziej of Coor East, Doonogan, was initially charged with assault causing harm in relation to the alleged meat cleaver and knife attack on Marcin Jeziorny at the home the two Poles shared near Miltown Malbay near Clare’s Atlantic coast on May 17.

On conviction, a charge of assault causing harm carries a maximum jail term of five years. However, the State last month charged Mr Kolodziej with assault causing serious harm that carries a prison term up to life on conviction.
