'Feet coming down on me like Riverdance' - woman in fear after 'savage' assaults
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Judge Dara Hayes said that although McCluskey was not on bail when he assaulted Ms Kelly the second time, he deserved a consecutive sentence because the second offence involved intimidating her in relation to the first attack. He sentenced McCluskey to consecutive sentences totaling five years and suspended the final 12 months in an attempt to encourage him to rehabilitate.; Judge Hayes had adjourned the case overnight having heard evidence yesterday.
