Ben Curry, 25, is jailed after attacks on former partners that include beatings and threats. Multiple reports say Curry assaults an ex-partner at knifepoint and tells her to “pick a finger or a toe,” along with a threat to cut off one of her fingers to stop her texting other people. Another source describes a separate attack on a different ex-girlfriend involving a sustained beating in public, lasting about 40 minutes.
The Irish Times reports that Curry is back in custody after breaking a suspended sentence connected to the earlier offences. BreakingNews.ie also describes the case as involving “disturbing” and “disgusting” attacks, focusing on the threats made during the assaults. While the outlets differ in emphasis and wording, they agree on the core allegations: repeated violence against ex-partners, threats involving dismemberment, and an order leading to Curry’s return to custody after breaching conditions of a suspended sentence.
