Woman accused of stabbing partner with chef's knife refused bail

Summary

A woman in her 30s accused of stabbing her partner with an eight-inch chef's knife has been remanded in custody after a judge said there was a "huge" likelihood of a further serious incident if she was released on bail. The woman appeared before Judge Anne Watkin at Dún Laoghaire District Court charged with assaulting her partner and causing him harm at a residence in Co Dublin on July 25, contrary to Section 3 of the Non-Fatal Offences against the Person Act 1997. The man suffered a stab wound to his right forearm and was taken to hospital. Garda Andrew Shanley objected to bail, citing the seriousness of the allegation and concerns that the woman could commit a serious offence while on bail. The judge refused bail and remanded the woman in custody to appear before Court 2 at the Criminal Courts of Justice at 10.30am on August 12.
