A Cork man has been jailed for putting his ex-partner in fear by threatening to pour boiling water over her and to choke her as soon as she fell asleep.

A catalogue of incidents was outlined at an in-camera hearing of Cork District Court, where he pleaded guilty to several breaches of a protection order by putting her in fear.
