A man who asked his then girlfriend if she was “ready for round two” during a prolonged assault has been jailed for three years.
Lloyd Saunders, 33, with an address at Seven Oaks, Swords Road, Dublin 9, had pleaded not guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to assault causing harm, false imprisonment and making a threat to kill or cause serious harm at Rathvilly Park, Finglas, on December 17, 2016. The jury convicted him of assault causing Kelly Evans harm but failed to agree on the other two charges.
Kelly Evans told the jury during the trial last March that Mr Saunders hit her in the face with his open hand three or four times.
