Suspended sentence for man who poured boiling water on partner in front of children
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Judge Martin Nolan said it was a "despicable" and "cowardly act" but he said he did not believe it merited a jail sentence, given the circumstances. "I must take into account they are still living together and still caring for their four children," the judge said.
