A Cork man got nine years for attacking his wife with boiling water and a hammer, causing severe burns and lasting trauma.
A man in Cork, Ireland, was sentenced to nine years in prison with the final year suspended for premeditatedly attacking his wife with boiling water and a claw hammer in January 2024.
The assault, which occurred at their home, left her with severe burns, a 3.5cm scalp scar, and lasting physical and psychological trauma, including PTSD.
The court heard the attack was planned, with the husband boiling water and retrieving a hammer beforehand.
Though he admitted guilt and submitted a written apology, he claimed it was merely a "domestic" and showed no remorse.
The victim, who endured years of emotional abuse and fear, said she was relieved the legal process ended but remains traumatized and fearful.
The judge emphasized the betrayal of trust and the vulnerability of the victim, noting the attack’s extreme severity.
