Gardaí in Cork investigating a petrol attack on a 23-year-old father-of-three which left him with life changing injuries have arrested two men for questioning. Detectives investigating the attack on Keith Greaney on Saturday arrested two brothers, aged 24 and 27, at an address in the Wilton area on Cork’s southside at around 8am for questioning about the assault. The two men were arrested under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act which allows gardaí detain suspects for up to 24 hours. Mr Greaney was rushed by ambulance to Cork University Hospital where he was put in an induced coma on a ventilator by doctors as they treated him for serious burns to his head and chest following the petrol attack. Mr Greaney came out of the induced coma on January 22nd and gardaí spoke to him briefly about the attack by his three assailants before he was again put in an induced coma to help with the healing process.
