Husband who was choking his wife until child shouted for him to stop remanded in custody

Incident occurred at family home in Co Cork

Judge Helen Boyle remanded the accused man in custody until February 13, 2026.

A woman feared she was going to die by strangulation until one of her young children told her husband to stop and today he was remanded in custody until February to allow time for a risk assessment in relation to future domestic violence.

Judge Helen Boyle remanded the accused in custody for just over two weeks until today for a probation report. However, in the absence of such a report, the judge said she was not prepared to release the accused from prison pending sentence because no risk assessment was available to the court.
