The court heard the victim was allowed to walk for about 13 minutes before he was 'hunted down' by the three accused, two of whom were in a jeep and one on foot. Two of the accused men were captured on CCTV attacking the victim, stamping on his head and kicking him repeatedly.
An attacker who took part in an assault that left the victim in a wheelchair after being kicked, stamped upon and beaten until his head was “nearly concave” has withdrawn an appeal against his nine-year jail term after being warned the Court of Appeal also has the power to increase sentences.
Granting the application, Mr Justice McCarthy said that Birali had received “very worthwhile advice”. “This is a very serious case, and he has acted in a very prudent manner because of the powers of the court,” he said.READ MORE: Ireland weather: Severe 17 degree drop in temperatures as Ireland set to avoid Hurricane Kirk
At the sentencing hearing, Detective Garda Sean Gallagher told Gráinne O’Neill BL, prosecuting, that Mr Doherty was talking to a female acquaintance in a nightclub when Birali came up and hit him with a bottle a number of times, causing a laceration to his head.After being ejected from the club, Birali phoned two other co-accused men who arrived separately, before the three men began to circle the area around the nightclub in wait for the victim.
