A 63-year-old woman said on Thursday it was beyond evil to be attacked by her husband who poured boiling water over her and struck her head with a claw hammer while she was asleep in her own home.
64-year-old Noel Twomey of 18 Carbery Grove, Knocknaheeny, Cork, faced sentencing on Thursday at Cork Circuit Criminal Court where Detective Garda Mick Dolan described the background to the extremely violent attack and read the impact statement on behalf of the victim.
