Martin Cecil Connor
In the three and a half minute, expletive filled video of the incident taken by Connor’s unknown friend, the apartment, which had been fully furnished, is completely trashed with cupboards doors hanging off and the fridge lying on its back, close to empty Buckfast bottles while Connor, vodka bottle in hand, rants incoherently as he picks it up, shoves it out of the window and then produces the bat as he strides out the door.
Arrested and interviewed Connor, from Windermere Gardens also in Lisburn, “apologised for his actions” and lodging his pleas in mitigation, defence counsel Peter Canavan conceded it had “rightly been described as very dangerous behaviour.”
