Seven-year sentence for killing neighbour
A Corkman who killed one of his neighbours was sentenced to seven years' imprisonment by a judge at the Central Criminal Court in Dublin today.
Mr Justice Paul Butler said that Mr Noel Mc Carthy was ``brutally stabbed’’ by Keith O’Donovan. He said that Mr McCarthy had been in his home minding his own business and had refused to let Mr O’Donovan and James Hourigan in to the house because they had been drinking.
