Jail for man who threatened to kill mother of his child and burn down apartment

The judge said the offending was aggravated by the fact that the accused was on bail, he has similar convictions such as a burglary, and the fact the offending took place in the presence of a child.

A man who threatened to kill the mother of his child and burn down her apartment in front of their three-year-old daughter has been jailed.

Chad Redmond, 27, of Belclare Park, Ballymun, Dublin, pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to assault and criminal damage on February 24, 2019, at an apartment in Finglas, north Dublin.
