A kettle of boiling water was poured over a woman in her bedroom by a man who kicked in her front door, and her partner was stabbed in the face with a scissors, it was alleged in a case where the accused man was remanded in custody until July 14.

Judge Miriam Walsh remanded the accused man in continuing custody on the application of Sergeant Aisling Murphy at Cork District Court.
