The fully suspended sentence handed down to a woman who lured a man she met on a night out to her apartment, where she trapped him at knife-point and demanded money before launching a "frenzied" slashing attack, was too lenient, the State has argued.
Susan McGovern (44) with a last address at Barker Place apartments, O'Connell Street, Waterford, pleaded guilty at Waterford Circuit Criminal Court to robbery contrary to Section 14 of the Criminal Justice Theft and Fraud Offences Act, 2001.
