Cork man who threatened ex-partner with pellet gun gets suspended sentence

A man who placed a pellet gun in the mouth of his ex-partner and threatened to blow out the back of her throat has got a suspended two-year sentence after evidence that he attended anger management and had turned his life around.

Judge Gerard O’Brien imposed a similar concurrent, suspended sentence on Mark Kavanagh of 11 Mount Sion Road, Greenmount, Cork, on a charge of assault causing harm to his then girlfriend.
