The Court of Criminal Appeal has increased by three years the prison sentence imposed on a Latvian man for the manslaughter of another man, who died after he was stabbed in the neck.

The Court of Criminal Appeal has set aside the four year sentence given to a Latvian man of the manslaughter of a Lithuanian father-of-one whom he stabbed in the neck on the grounds that the term was unduly lenient.

A Latvian man has been convicted of killing a Lithuanian man at a flat in Wexford eighteen months ago.
