Two men have been sentenced on a number of charges linked to an assault on a man in his Limavady home in May 2023.
His teenage daughter and his partner witnessed the incident in which he was left with damage to his arm.
Police have described the incident as a ‘savage’ attack.
The victim was beaten by a metal bar by one man, while the other was swinging a vodka bottle in his direction.
Thomas Quigley, aged 33, was sentenced at Antrim Crown Court to three years’ imprisonment, half to be served in prison and half on licence.
He was charged with burglary with intent to cause Grievous Bodily Harm, common assault, possession of an offensive weapon with intent, threats to commit damage and three counts of criminal damage to the victim’s house, car and a police car.
Meanwhile, his co-accused, 26 year old, Conor McSorley was handed down 100 hours’ community service and is on probation for two years for common assault and possession of an offensive weapon.
Both men pleaded guilty to the offences.
