A Kildare man is to be sentenced next month for a violent assault on his ex-partner which left her with a permanent scar after he dragged her into a taxi and punched her repeatedly in the face.

The woman told a sitting of Naas Circuit Criminal Court last week that she believed she was going to die during the frenzied attack.
