Man receives suspended sentence for biting attacks

A man who absconded to Britain in 1998 after he severed one man’s ear and bit another man in the face more than 10 years ago has been given a four-year suspended sentence.

William Nolan (aged 36) started a new life as a bar manager and estate agent after taking flight before his original sentence date in 1998 but returned home in 2003 and suffered a number of accidents resulting in a civil settlement from which he can offer his victims compensation.
