Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Passing sentence yesterday, Judge Martin Nolan described McCauley's attack on his mother as "a disgraceful thing for her son to do" before jailing him for 18 months. But the judge said it was a "cruelty he did to his mother" and jailed him for 18 months.; Wayne McCauley (31) was "viciously attacked by a meat cleaver" in the late 2010s, and a psychology report stated "some of the brain fell out and had to be put back in", the court was told.
