Corbett children set to return to Ireland as victim’s mother seeks justice

The grandmother of two Irish children set to return from the US to Ireland after their father was killed said she is not concerned with what happens to their stepmother but would like to see justice done for her son.

Rita Corbett, grandmother to Jack, 10, and Sarah, 8, said she believed the children should have been sent straight to Ireland after their father died in the family home in North Carolina on Sunday, August 2.

The Limerick-born children had been in the custody of their American stepmother, Molly Martens, since their father, Jason Corbett, 39, from Janesboro, Co Limerick, was found dead in an upstairs bedroom of his home.
