A father-of-two who threatened his partner with a knife in their home and was apprehended by an off-duty garda has received a fully suspended sentence.
Franck Lamour (53) was diagnosed with bi-polar depression approximately 15 years ago and was unable to access the medication he had been taking during the Covid-19 lockdown last April.
Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard that this was an isolated incident which stemmed from Lamour s mental disorder and the restrictions on his life caused by the global pandemic.
Lamour of Bird Avenue, Clonskeagh, pleaded guilty to production of a knife and threat to kill or cause serious harm at his address on April 7, 2020. He has no previous convictions.
