Thug who blew own hand off in bizarre threats to politicians

- BY PAUL HEALY Crime Correspondent

A THUG who blew his own hand off with a pipe bomb has posted a series of bizarre videos from his hospital bed - and called himself “Captain Hook".

The 35-year-old criminal, who has more than 80 convictions to his name, lost his hand after a suspected pipe bomb exploded at his Dublin home last week.

Gruesome photos emerged of the man’s horrific injury - showing he had completely lost his hand.

The career criminal, who recently served a five-year prison sentence for burglary, has posted a series of videos from his bed in Beaumont.

He showed off his handless arm and bizarrely issued threats at Taoiseach Micheal Martin and others.
