Sentence too lenient for man who beat partner so badly he thought he had killed her, court told
"The State has argued that a three-year jail term was too lenient for a violent offender who beat his partner so badly he checked to see if she was still breathing afterwards and later threatened to eat her liver."
"Ian Doyle (34), who was on bail at the time for assaulting a different partner, did not let the woman leave the house for nearly a week following a series of attacks in her home in February 2023. Her four-year-old daughter was asleep upstairs at the time of this first assault."
