latest first- Man sentenced for causing serious harm in Naas, Co Kildare Assault (causing serious harm); possession of cocaine and cannabis · Co. Kildare
Jonathan Reid, 28, stabbed Greg Shiels in the neck with a four-inch knife at the family home at Newhall, Naas, Co Kildare on 6 March 2020 while in a drug-induced psychosis. Mr Shiels was taken to Naas General Hospital and then transferred to Tallaght Hospital for surgery, and made a good recovery with no swallowing or voice problems. Reid was originally charged with attempted murder but pleaded guilty at the Central Criminal Court in December 2021 to causing serious harm and possession of cocaine and cannabis, with the DPP dropping the attempted murder charge. On 30 May 2022, Mr Justice Paul McDermott sentenced Reid to six and a half years in prison with the final two years suspended for three years, backdated to when he went into custody in 2020.
