Jason McDonagh phoned ex-partner Shauna Greene 18 times from Castlerea Prison in Co Roscommon warning her to change her statement about the vicious attack
A Donegal man jailed for stabbing his girlfriend has been given another three years behind bars after phoning her from jail and threatening to kill.
He was charged that between May 25, 2023 and July 13, 2023, he did make from Castlerea Prison in Co Roscommon, phone calls to Shauna Greene which had a tendency to pervert the course of justice in that he continuously telephoned Ms Greene and asked for her to withdraw a complaint in relation to a section 3 Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act, 1997, which was before the court, asked her to withdraw, change her statement, to state that it was not true, and go to court and tell the judge...
Ms Greene said he warned her that if she did not do as he said he would beat her again and she said she believed McDonagh would kill her if he got out of prison. She added that she now changes her appearance when she is out as she fears meeting McDonagh's family and they tell him where she is. He said his client understands the relationship with Ms Greene is now finished and has said he will have nothing to do with her on his release and that he apologised to her for any stress he caused to her or her mother.
He said he placed it in the mid range and said he was constraining himself by not putting it higher than the headline sentence in the previous assault case.
