Ex-boyfriend hit woman on head with full 7-Up bottle

A young woman was struck on the head with a full 7-Up bottle by her ex-boyfriend in a shopping centre.

The case against Christopher Kuhn, of Blarney Street, Cork, was listed for hearing yesterday at Cork District Court.

Kuhn failed to appear for the case. His solicitor, Frank Buttimer, was present. Judge Con O’Leary said the case could proceed in Kuhn’s absence.
