Corkman who threatened to kill social worker has case adjourned for judge to read probation report

The court had previously heard that in one of the messages the man left on the social worker’s phone, he said: 'You can do what you want, you can record it, you shit, but I’m telling you, I am going to take your life'

The man was charged with assaulting the woman at Washington Street Courthouse on April 3, 2023.

The man who threatened a social worker with the words “I’m going to end your life” had the case against him adjourned until September 26 as his solicitor said on Wednesday that the probation report was positive in terms of the defendant’s engagement with the service.

Judge Mary Dorgan adjourned the case saying that she would need time to read the report and consider the matter which was not possible when there was such a huge list of cases before Cork District Court.
