A 20-year-old man has been sentenced to 11 years in prison for an unprovoked attack in which a woman was stabbed nine times in Tralee.
The woman was the victim of an opportunistic attack by 20-year-old Slovakian man Robert Bily on August 7th last year, as she watched Netflix in her apartment by herself.
Mr Bily pleaded guilty to one count of assault causing harm and one count of sexual assault to the same woman, and one count of burglary in respect of another apartment.
Radio Kerry journalist Mark Lynch was in Tralee Circuit Criminal Court for the sentencing.
