Teen suffers nightmares about uncle he killed

A BLARNEY teenager who stabbed his uncle to death with a jagged edged flick-knife now meets the deceased in his nightmares, it emerged at his sentencing hearing.

Mr Justice Paul Carney heard the prosecution and defence evidence in advance of sentencing Christopher Ruby, aged 18, of Ard Na Greine, Station Road, Blarney, Cork, for killing Shannon Ruby, 30, on Saturday, September 26, 2009, at a neighbouring house.

The judge said he would impose sentence on Friday at the Central Criminal Court sitting in Cork.
