Man threatened to kill ex-partner and punched her in front of their daughter, Cork court hears

Judge warns that the crimes warrant a custodial sentence

The court heard that the defendant admitted sending threatening messages and admitted assault.

A man who threatened to kill his ex-partner, punched her in front of their young daughter, and spat at her, was warned by a judge in Cork that his crimes warrant a custodial sentence.

“That might be the only way to stop his reoffending and let this lady get some sleep at night,” Judge Alec Gabbett said.
