Peter Keaney, 55, has been sentenced to three and a half years in prison for violently attacking his partner’s elderly mother at a nursing home in Athlone, Ireland. The assault occurred after Keaney assumed incorrectly that the victim had facilitated past abuse against his partner. Witnesses reported hearing the victim’s screams, and she sustained serious injuries, requiring stitches. The judge emphasized the tragedy of the case and noted the complexities of Keaney’s past, including childhood abuse and alcohol issues.
