‘Heartless’ man tied up his disabled sister and robbed sick mum of €11k saved for funeral

A heartless son tied up his 68-year-old sick mother and robbed her of the €11,600 she had saved to pay for her funeral.

Jason Scannell shouted at the public gallery as he was jailed for eight years, with the last two suspended.

Cork Circuit Criminal Court heard Scannell never showed remorse for the aggravated burglary.
