A WOMAN sustained “inhumane injuries” and is “incredibly lucky to be alive” after an acid attack, a court has been told. The charges, to which Mr Stokes made no reply when cautioned by gardaí, are alleged to have happened on Tuesday. On returning to Ms Lee’s house, Mr Stokes “subjected her to numerous physical assaults”, Det Gda Harkin said. The court heard Mr Fehin escaped from the house and left the area in his car before he telephoned gardaí. Det Gda Harkin said Ms Lee later awoke “to find cardboard boxes on top of her and the apartment on fire, with flames everywhere”.
