I’ll kill the whole lot of ye, accused shouts at gardaí

A man charged in connection with a violent carjacking, in which he allegedly struck a woman across the head with a crutch, lashed out in court yesterday and told gardaí and prison officers, “I’ll kill the whole lot of ye bastards.”

Ray McDonagh appeared before Limerick District Court, charged with assault causing harm to a woman on June 12, and with stealing the woman’s car on the same date.

Yesterday, as his case was being heard, Mr McDonagh complained he no longer wished to physically appear before court while his case was awaiting directions from the DPP.
