‘Lying Eyes’ loses soliciting to kill conviction appeal

SHARON “Lying Eyes” Collins has lost her appeal against her conviction for soliciting a man to kill her partner and his two sons.

Sharon Collins, aged 48, of Kildysart Road, Ennis, Co Clare, was jailed for six years in November 2008 after a Central Criminal Court jury found her guilty of soliciting a man to murder her partner, PJ Howard, and his two sons Robert and Niall Howard on August 15, 2006.

Collins, who used the pseudonym “lyingeyes98” to investigate hiring a hitman online, was also found guilty on three counts of conspiring to kill the men.
