The Central Criminal Court was told that Lisa Ward was 32 weeks pregnant when she was punched, kicked and dragged around the streets of Dublin. Her then partner, Dean Paget pleaded guilty to attempted murder and will be sentenced next week
The Central Criminal Court has heard a woman will"never get over" a prolonged attack by her partner in Dublin almost two years ago, after which her unborn baby died.
The footage showed Paget punching Ms Ward repeatedly, kicking her in the abdomen and dragging her along the street, in a number of different locations. She said she didn't know how she was going to face this life and all the hope she had had been torn away from her. She said all she could do was visit her daughter's grave. She said it would be with her for the rest of her life and nothing would make it better.
