Life sentence for Perth murder

The Dublin native who killed his fellow countryman in Australia while high on the “meow meow” drug two years ago, has been sentenced to at least 17 years in prison by a Perth court.

Vincent Martin Crowe stabbed Wexford man Kenny Meyler in the neck while at a party at a beachside apartment in the Perth suburb of Scarborough following a rave in February 2013.

Mr Meyler was rushed to hospital and put on life support, but died almost a week later.
