Mother heard 'thumping', gardaí assault trial hears
The mother of a young man accusing four gardaí of assault has said she heard “thumping” coming from her son’s bedroom while she was being kept in the bathroom.
Ms Fidelma Gaffney said she was gabbed by the throat and arm and forced into the bathroom for about five minutes after she had seen two uniformed gardaí beat her son as he lay in bed.
