A Lithuanian national who killed his best friend in a drunken row has been jailed for nine years by Judge Patricia Ryan at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

The 16-year-old passenger in a stolen sports car that killed two gardai has been sentenced to four years detention which is to start in March 2004 after his current two year term ends.

The 16-year-old passenger in a stolen sports car that killed two gardai last April wouldn't have been at liberty at the time had there been a residential place available for him.
