Assault accused takes bid for bail to the High Court

Jamie Saunders, of 17 Glentrasna, The Glen, was refused bail at Cork District Court last week after Detective Garda Jim Kearney objected.
Det Garda Kearney said it was alleged that Jamie Saunders rang his uncle, Michael Saunders, and threatened him on July 14. It was further alleged that Jamie Saunders later went to his uncle’s house at Father Dominic Rd armed with a knife, that he knocked on the door, and assaulted Michael Saunders with a car jack, causing a wound to his head that required him to be hospitalised for treatment.
