A man who repeatedly stabbed his partner with a knife, leaving her hospitalised for three weeks, will face a year longer in jail after the Court of Appeal today found his original 33-month term was too lenient.
Keith Malone (40), Barnashrone, Mountmellick, Co Laois, was charged with assault causing harm and production of an article, at Athy, Co Kildare, on 6 January, 2019.
On that date, he stabbed his partner four times with a knife, causing injuries including a damaged liver, a collapsed lung, a broken rib, and a gash to her elbow.
