A young prisoner who punched and knocked out a middle-aged inmate in the exercise yard has been sentenced to a further 10 weeks in jail.

Soccer player Destiny Enogieru, of The Manor, Clondulane, Fermoy, pleaded guilty to a charge of assaulting the other prisoner one year ago, only a few days after he had begun his sentence at Cork Prison.
