Man gets 11 years for role in killing

A man has been sentenced to 11 years for his role in the manslaughter of a Dublin father whose naked body was found in a field two weeks after he was abducted by a gang of men.

Daniel Quinn, aged 24, brought gardaí to where Ciarán Noonan’s body had been dumped outside Trim, Co Meath and revealed the victim had stabbed himself with a knife from his sleeve prior to being beaten with an iron bar and bundled into the back of a car.

Quinn claimed Mr Noonan, who died of neck compression, did this to avoid being abducted.
