Man who left boy with permanent brain damage after hitting his head 65 times wins appeal
A Limerick man who left a schoolboy with permanent brain damage after beating him unconscious in an unprovoked attack has successfully appealed against the 15-year sentence imposed on him.
The man, who was a teenager in the care of the HSE at the time of the “unprovoked, sustained and vicious” attack, was caught on camera inflicting 65 kicks and stamps to his 16-year-old victim’s head, along with two stamps to his chest and 26 punches.
