Men jailed over 'sickening and sadistic' attack that saw victim dumped in field

Four men were jailed today for their roles in a violent attack in which the victim was beaten, stabbed and bundled into the boot of a car before being dumped in a field near Broughshane.

Cherry also admitted causing the victim grievous bodily harm, whilst 41-year old Sean Davies, from Queen’s Park in Saintfield, pleaded guilty to a charge of arson. He drove from his home in Comber to Ballymena and when he arrived, both Coleman and Cherry were present. He bagged cocaine for around two hours and after this, Cherry asked for his phone which he handed over.

After ordering the victim to hand over his car keys, Coleman told Sheridan and Davies to search the car and when Sheridan returned to the kitchen he said he had found a black book in the vehicle with customer names in it. The badly injured man recalled waking up and trying to crawl away - and at 8.15am he was spotted covered in blood in the field by two council workers driving past in a bin lorry.

“In the wake of this senseless act of violence, my life has become a relentless cycle of pain and uncertainty. Each day is battle against despair.” Sheridan, who both bundled the victim into the BMW, has a record for motoring offences and a domestic assault. At the time of the incident, he was using of cocaine. He later expressed concern for the victim and regret for his actions. After Judge Kerr imposed the sentences, all four men were taken from the dock by prison staff and into custody.
