A man from Kildare will be sentenced next month after a violent assault on his ex-partner, leaving her permanently scarred.
The assault occurred when he dragged her into a taxi on Basin Street in Naas,on November 5, 2023, repeatedly punching her in the face.
During the attack on November 5, 2023, the victim feared for her life as she endured the frenzied assault.
She stated: "I know he intended to kill me that night."
According to the Irish Independent, the 31-year-old, whose identity remains concealed for legal reasons, pleaded guilty to charges including causing serious harm, false imprisonment, and making threats.
He also admitted to assaulting a friend who intervened.
The victim sustained lacerations, bruises, and a permanent scar, while her friend also suffered injuries.
Despite previous convictions and breaches of a safety order, the accused claimed self-defence and expressed remorse.
In victim impact statements, both women detailed the lasting trauma from the assault, with one describing feeling like a "rag doll".
Sentencing has been adjourned for further consideration, with concerns raised about the accused being released back into the community.
