Man who allegedly threatened to kill his wife after trying to ram blanket down her mouth is remanded in custody

A man alleged to have punched his wife in the face, attempted to stuff a blanket in her mouth and then forced her to sign letters allowing him to take his son to a different country, has been denied bail.

The man was brought before Bandon District Court for an alleged breach of a safety order earlier today, during which it was also alleged that he had threatened to kill his wife.
