The woman was allegedly put through a four hour ordeal on November 9 where she was threatened with a knife by a 37-year-old man, who also told her that he had a shotgun in his car and a Glock handgun on the fridge
A Clare woman was held against her will for four hours by a man and was forced to listen to the man inform her ex-partner over the phone that she had an affair with another man towards the end of their relationship, a court has heard.
Opposing a bail application for the man, Det Garda Corkery said that the woman felt pressured to go to this man’s house on November 9 as he was threatening that he would ring her ex partner and tell him that she had an affair towards the end of their relationship if she didn’t come to the home. Det Corkery said that the woman sat on a chair in the house for the majority of the time and due to the aggressive nature and tone of the man “she was in constant fear of her own safety and frozen to the chair”.
Det Corkery said that the man also stabbed the knife several times in a mantlepiece close to where the woman was sitting. Det Corkery said that the accused then disclosed to the woman's ex-partner that he was in a relationship with the alleged injured party and that she had an affair during the relationship with her ex-partner.
