Sentencing adjourned for man who ‘lost the plot’

A hospital patient who videoed a nurse and threatened to follow her home had sentencing in his case adjourned for a fortnight yesterday.

Evidence was also given of the accused man “losing the plot”, assaulting security staff by spraying a fire extinguisher at them and pulling a tube from his arm and threatening other nurses with blood.

Liam McGowan, of 138 Meadowbrook, Craigavon, Co Armagh, faced sentencing yesterday at Cork District Court.
