Two held after man has his feet nailed to the floor

Gardaí in Limerick are investigating a violent assault in which a 51-year-old man had his feet nailed to the floor at a house in the city.

Details of the horrific attack emerged at a special sitting of Limerick District Court last night when gardaí applied for extra time to question two men arrested on suspicion of withholding information about the incident.

In his evidence to the court, Detective Garda Jim Ryan described how the victim was lured to a house on the south side of Limerick City on September 14 by a call on his mobile.
