Prison sentence for Limerick man who stabbed and beat his heavily pregnant partner
Reporter: Reader discretion is advised
A MAN who repeatedly stabbed and savagely beat his heavily-pregnant partner has been jailed for two-and-a-half years.
Imposing sentence, Judge Tom O’Donnell said what happened was a “very serious case of domestic abuse” which was at the higher end of the spectrum.
He added that any sentence imposed by the court had to mark “society s strong condemnation of such behaviour” and send out a “clear message of deterrence”.
Details of the incident which occurred at a house in the city last Easter were revealed earlier this month after the man pleaded guilty to several charges.
