Death threat for woman jailed over teen’s death

ARMED police were yesterday called to a Belfast court as relatives and friends of a dead teenager shouted abuse at a woman jailed for his manslaughter.

Alison McKeown, 33, wept in the dock at Belfast Crown Court as she was given a two-year sentence for the manslaughter of 16-year-old Thomas McDonald.

As she was led away, abuse and a death threat were shouted at her.
