An eight-month jail term was imposed on a Cork man who put his ex-partner in fear by running his finger across his throat and threatening to kill her when he encountered her at a shopping centre.

Judge Olann Kelleher said at the sentencing hearing: “He made a threat to kill the victim and she was in fear — in great fear. I read the victim impact statement. He was hanging around her house as well.”
