• Ennis woman convicted of assault after biting former friend Assault · Co. Clare

  On 6 April 2025, Razia Malikzada, 36, an Afghan woman, assaulted Lema Popalzai, an Afghan woman, at her home in Corrovorrin Grove, Ennis, in front of the victim's children, after a dispute over rumours that Malikzada was sending money to a man in Afghanistan. Malikzada admitted biting the victim, who also had strangulation marks on her neck, and was taken by ambulance to University Hospital Limerick. At Ennis District Court, Judge Adrian Harris found Malikzada guilty of entering the home as a trespasser and committing an assault, while dismissing the same charge against co-accused Palwasha Jaid, 40. Sentencing was adjourned to 8 July 2026 at Ennis District Court.
