Three years for bouncer who bit part of man's ear off
A bouncer who bit part of a man's ear off because he was depressed about being told he may have CJD - a form of "mad cow disease" - has been given a three year sentence at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.
Ken Broe (aged 36), of North Frederick Street, Dublin 1 beat Mr Karl Philips to the ground outside Heaven Nightclub in Blanchardstown on October 23, 2007, before biting his ear lobe off and fleeing.
