Woman was told 'you are going to be burned alive'
Three Belfast men who went on a drunken rampage in a block of flats in the city centre were all sent to jail on Thursday.
The sentences were imposed on 44-year old Conor Gerard Hamill from Cliftonville Road; 36-year old Joseph Declan Kane from Herbert Street and Kieran Thomas Lewsley, 37, from Springfield Road. At 3.12am a 60-year old female resident was woken by banging the door of her flat. She went to her door, heard male voices outside calling her an “orange b****d” and noticed her door was struck so hard that the frame shook.
Other residents were also woken by their doors being damaged and when one male opened his door, Hamill struck out at him with a knife. Another resident whose door was damaged heard Lewsley outside his flat saying “come out, I’m going to stiff you and burn your bike”. All three subsequently pleaded guilty to a charge of aggravated burglary with intent to commit grievous bodily harm, causing damage to eight front doors and to causing grievous bodily harm to the 60-year old female resident.
Kane’s barrister Kieran Mallon KC said his client was heavily under the influence on the night in question and his since branded his behaviour as “absolutely disgraceful”.
