A citizen of Zimbabwe attacked a man in Clonakilty, believing that the victim was having an affair with his wife.
A video of the attack was shown yesterday at the Cork Circuit Criminal Court.
The aggressor called the house of the victim, who was hit on the head, grabbed by the neck and lifted off the ground, chased down the street, hit to the ground, kicked in the head and then, when she was on the ground, had her head stomped twice.
This was the evidence of Garda Aisling Murphy in the case against Nkosiyadha Mguni, of Clonakilty Lodge, Clonakilty, Co Cork. Garda Murphy said the injured party was unaware of the motive for the assault.
Mguni pleaded guilty to the charge of battery causing harm to the other man on June 8, 2020. Defense attorney Patrick Silke said the defendant believed the other man had been having an affair with his wife.
Silke said the defendant fully admitted when he was charged with carrying out the crime.
The 26-year-old had moved from Zimbabwe to Ireland three years ago.
The defense attorney said that Mguni himself had been the victim of a ordeal in his native country.
Regarding the robbery he carried out in Clonakilty, Mr. Silke, BL, said of Mguni: “Rightly or wrongly, I believed that this man and his wife were in an extramarital affair and he lost total control.”
Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin sentenced him to two years in prison.
“This is a case of unprovoked assault on a man in his own home. The fact that he knocked on the victim’s door, gave him a head butt, dragged him into the lane, where he mercilessly kicked him, there was no justification now, then, or never for this vicious assault. There is little in this case by way of regret. ”
The judge said that with regard to the victim, in addition to the physical injuries to the head, her confidence has been undermined.
