Four-year sentence for man who attacked former English Army corporal

The Court of Criminal Appeal has found that the four-year suspended sentence handed down to a man who savagely attacked a former English Army corporal was unduly lenient.

However the court has decided not to increase the penalty imposed on Mark Cummins of St Tereasa’s Gardens, Donore Avenue, Rialto for the assault on Conor Shaw on Easter Sunday 2006.
