Slash hook attack accused is refused bail
Summary
Emmett Kiely, 26, of Limerick, was denied bail by the High Court on 29 November 2017. He faces charges for a "slash hook" assault on Joseph Storan on 3 October 2017 at Maple Court, Kennedy Park, and for assaulting Terry Casey on 11 July 2017 at the same address. He is also charged with possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life on that day. The State objected to bail, arguing it could lead to further offences, and the court, citing Section 2A of the Bail Act, rejected the application, remanding Kiely in custody.
