Storage of excrement caused €15k of damage in Cork apartment

A man who stored his own excrement in an apartment for several months, causing €15,000 worth of damage, has been jailed for a year.

The court heard the smell and the damage was so severe that the owner of the Cork City centre apartment had to remove the flooring and replace all the contents.

German national Robert Kummer, 36, was sentenced at Cork Circuit Criminal Court in a case which Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin described as most unusual and very bizarre.
