Excerpt:
A man who attacked and threatened to kill his daughter at knife point for walking to college with a black friend has avoided a prison sentence.
Hakim Didani (47) assaulted his teenage daughter and made threats against her life while holding a knife in one hand and a screwdriver in the other.
Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard that Didani held a knife to his then 17-year-old daughter's face and threatened to bring her to a forest to kill her.
