The Garda in Galway is appealing for information in relation to an aggravated burglary last week in which a 10-year-old girl was assaulted while she slept in her bed.
Schoolgirl Eireann Qualter Nic Canna is recovering in University College Hospital, Galway, after she was beaten by the intruder, who broke into her bedroom at Rahoon flats at about 5.45 a.m. on Thursday, March 18th.
She was struck with a hard implement, believed to be a stick or baseball bat, on the body and head. The intruder stole a number of items from the flat, including a video recorder, and left by the front door.
