A violent outburst over the level of cleanliness at a leisure resort in Kappara earned an Italian man a five-month suspended sentence.

The incident happened on Saturday when Rosario Marseglia, 22, and friends complained to the receptionist of Sundown Leisure Court that their room was dirty.

Sources said they were drunk and when they were refused another room they hurled deckchairs, tables and mattresses into the pool.

Mr Marseglia yesterday pleaded guilty after assuming full responsibility and paying for the €700 damage.
