Man ‘to be feared’ is jailed for five years

A Cork man who maintains “an image of himself as a man to be feared” was jailed yesterday for five years.

One of his crimes was the fracturing of a woman’s cheekbone. He knocked her out in front of her family.

David Ross, of 55 Mary Aikenhead Place, Gurranabraher, Cork, was yesterday sentenced at Cork Circuit Criminal Court for trespassing at the woman’s home, for assault causing harm to her, and for dealing in heroin.
