Family ‘ecstatic’ at life sentence for Cork murderer

“WE will never find it in our hearts to forgive what you did — the only thing we are sure is that Lee is in a better place than you.”

That was the message Karen Roberts had for murderer Timmy O’Driscoll, as she read her victim impact statement.

Karen Roberts is the mother of Lee McCarthy and yesterday, O’Driscoll was sentenced to life in prison for murdering him.
