Mulhall sister loses appeal against 15-year sentence
The Court of Criminal Appeal found the trial judge in the case, Paul Carney, had imposed the appropriate level of sentence given the nature of the offence. The court also refused to suspend part of the sentence because Mulhall had not engaged with counselling and rehabilitation services at the time of her sentencing although she had expressed remorse.
Mulhall, aged 33, was found guilty in October 2006 of manslaughter of her mother’s boyfriend, Farah Swaleh Noor, on March 20, 2005. Her sister Charlotte, aged 27, recently lost an appeal against a life sentence for the murder of Mr Noor who was killed during a row, following a night of drinking and drug taking, in a north city flat. Mr Noor’s body was cut up and dumped in a canal while his head was buried in a field in Tallaght and never found. The sisters’ mother, Kathleen, 52, is awaiting trial on charges in connection with the death.
