Cork stabbing accused remanded in custody

A man who has been charged with a knife attack on his partner which left her with 14 wounds has been remanded in custody until his next court appearance on September 3.

Patrick O’Rourke, a 62-year-old with an address at 38, Cooline Drive, Ballyvaloon, in Cobh, Co Cork, was brought before Clonakilty District Court yesterday.

He had previously appeared in the same court a week ago, when he had been remanded in custody with consent to bail.
