Former Maine resident in Ireland murder case beaten behind bars.

A former Waldo County man awaiting trial for the gruesome chainsaw murder of an Ireland farmer has been assaulted while behind bars.

That’s according to the Irish Mirror, which says Michael G. Kelley had been in a solitary cell until recently moved to a cell with other inmates.

The paper quoted Kelley’s lawyer as saying he noticed marks on Kelley when he was doing a court-related video teleconference with him.
