Man to be sentenced later for knife assault on ex-partner

A Dublin drug addict who crouched down pretending to be a child in his ex-partner’s porch so she would open the door to him will be sentenced later for assaulting her with a kitchen knife.

Martin Murray (aged 37) later told gardaí he had been fueled by drugs, alcohol and “jealousy” over Ms Lucille Webb’s new relationship with another man when he burst into her home.
