Mandatory life term for ‘savage’ killings

BRUTAL, savage and sadistic is how the murders of two Polish men were described by the judge who jailed their killer yesterday.

Mr Justice Liam McKechnie imposed the mandatory life sentence on David Curran, aged 19, of Lissadel Green, Drimnagh, for murdering the mechanics in their front garden.

Curran used a screwdriver to stab Pawel Kalite, aged 28, and Marius Szwajkos, aged 27, through their heads on February 23, 2008, outside their home on Benbulben Road, Drimnagh.
