Lillis to walk free seven years after manslaughter of wife

Eamonn Lillis, who brutally killed his wife on the patio of their Dublin home almost seven years ago, is expected to be a free man this week-end.

Lillis, a 57-year-old father of one, was found guilty of the manslaughter of Celine Cawley, 46, at their home in Windgate Rd, Howth, in December 2008.

After repeatedly bashing his wife’s head with a brick, he attempted to cover his tracks by blaming an intruder for her death.
