Teenager jailed for three years for unprovoked attack
A young Ballymun resident has been given three years' detention for an unprovoked attack on a neighbouring family after a night of "binge-drinking and tablet-taking" last year.
Liam Scanlon (aged 19) of Shangan Avenue, Ballymun punched and kicked Mr Patrick Kiely as he lay on the ground outside his home at Old Town Road, Santry on July 14, 2007 and threatened to kill his wife, putting a broken bottle to her face when she tried to stop the beating.
