Sidney Sutton was ordered to return to prison for 16 months after the Court of Appeal found his original two-year sentence, with the final 12 months suspended, unduly lenient, as reported on 25 September 2020.

He had been convicted at Trim Circuit Criminal Court of four assaults, assault causing harm and producing a knife capable of inflicting serious injury.

The appeal court said the offending included stabbing his former partner in the leg and shoulder during a prolonged domestic violence incident.
