Bereaved brother reveals anger at murderer

The brother of a 62-year-old murder victim described his anger yesterday at having unknowingly called to the murderer’s home for directions to the flat where his brother lay dead in a pool of blood.

A jury returned a unanimous guilty verdict against Lloyd Buckley, aged 40, of Flat F, 3 Rocksprings Terrace, St Luke’s, Cork, for the murder of Michael Healy at Flat G in the same building on a date between Sept 18 and Sept 22, 2010.

The jury took less than two hours to return their verdict and Mr Justice Paul Carney imposed the mandatory sentence of life imprisonment.
