Dubliner gets suspended sentence for manslaughter

A High Court judge has said during a manslaughter sentencing that he has been "haunted by the conditions of the cruelly-named Fatima Mansions" during the course of the trial which was heard at the Central Criminal Court last February.

Mr Justice Paul Carney today handed down a five-year-suspended sentence on a 35-year-old Dublin man who had been found guilty of the manslaughter of a former All Ireland boxing champion who suffered from a drug addiction.
