The reporting
newest first- 7 Oct2024Donegal man accused of false imprisonment, strangulation remanded in custody
Court report on a single accused's appearance. The article says the alleged incidents occurred on different dates at locations in County Donegal, but gives no specific dates. A sidebar teaser on the page says a chef was jailed for two years at Letterkenny Circuit Court; the body text describes this man as remanded, so the teaser does not appear to be about the same case.
