Yesterday, a Croatian citizen was notified in court to stay away from an art school building in Cork and not to harass staff on the premises.
In a previous case, it emerged that the respondent was trying to gain access to a portal to another dimension where he would be safe from demons.
Lawyer Cian Cotter filed the application with Judge Helen Boyle at the Cork Circuit Court against Ante Brekalo, 26, who allegedly broke into the CIT Faculty of Art building in Grand Parade, next to the Nano Nagle pedestrian bridge.
Cotter said Brekalo invaded the building on April 27 and that this followed three previous intrusion incidents dating back to June 17, October 10 and October 13 of last year, he said.
Judge Boyle granted the precautionary measure requested by the CIT, demanding that the defendant not attend the facilities or harass the staff.
The judge deferred the case to mention it within a week. Cotter said he was aware that the defendant had been a resident of a mental health services unit in Cork and that he would write to the director of that facility, notifying him of yesterday’s injunction against Brekalo.
Earlier, in a criminal trial at the Cork Circuit Criminal Court, Mr. Brekalo, who is in his 20s, pleaded not guilty to insanity on seven different charges.
It took only a few minutes for the jury to issue a verdict that he was not guilty by reason of insanity on all seven counts.
All counts are related to the same location: CIT Crawford College of Art and Design in Grand Parade, Cork.
He was charged with robbery whereby he allegedly invaded with the intention of attempting to cause criminal harm or harm on December 18, 2017, December 29, 2017, and again on January 4, 2018.
Tom Creed, defending himself, read a background psychiatric report on the defendant during the October 2018 trial that Brekalo was so agitated on one of the occasions that he required five Gardaí to arrest him.
Creed said that the defense accepted the facts described by the prosecution of the defendant who broke into art school and resisted arrest in the manner described.
Creed read Dr. Ronan Mullaney’s background report on the defendant that gave details of the defendant’s psychotic condition that rendered him unable to refrain from committing the act.
He became convinced that it was through art college that he could gain access to a portal to another dimension and that he would be safe from demons in this dimension.
Creed said Dr. Ronan Mullaney’s report showed that the defendant suffered from severe schizophrenia, complicated by a history of cannabis use resulting in strange feelings of persecution.
