Man jailed for killing fiancée’s father

A 47-YEAR-OLD Liverpool man has been jailed for nine years for killing his fiancée’s father in Co Westmeath 23 years ago in the state’s first cold-case homicide prosecution.

Mr Justice John Edwards described the killing of 43-year-old Bernard Brian McGrath by Colin Pinder and the victim’s wife as “callous and vicious”.

Vera McGrath was sentenced to life in prison in July after being found guilty of her husband’s murder.
