Support body criticises concurrent terms for murders

A HOMICIDE support group has criticised the decision not to impose two consecutive life sentences on the man found guilty of the brutal murders of Pawel Kalite and Mariusz Szwajkos.

Passing sentence at the Central Criminal Court, Justice Liam McKechnie handed down two mandatory life terms to 19-year-old David Curran to run currently.

This means Curran will serve them at the same time, rather than consecutively, one after the other.
