The PSNI have welcomed the sentencing of a 36-year-old at Laganside Crown Court following a guilty plea for assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
Robert Andrews pled guilty to the offence at Laganside Crown Court on April 9th 2024. Today, Thursday, 06 June, he was sentenced to two and a half years, half to be spent in custody and half on licence.
Welcoming the sentencing, Detective Inspector Crothers said: "On 27th February 2023, police received a report that Robert Andrews had seriously assaulted and threatened the victim at an address in the Carrickfergus area.
"During the attack, the victim sustained significant injuries to their head, face and body, including a broken nose.
