Garda who told terminally ill ex he wanted to 'watch her bleed to death' named as he is jailed for coercive control

A serving Garda has been jailed for three years and three months for the coercive control of his terminally-ill partner.

The 43-year-old woman told Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on Monday how her former partner Paul Moody told her the only reason he had visited her while in hospital was to “watch you bleed to death”.

She was giving her victim impact statement in the sentence hearing of the 42-year-old man who harassed, threatened, assaulted, stole from and controlled the woman for over four years after they met online in 2017.
