Victim's mother wishes murderer 'well'

A life sentence was imposed today on a young Corkman convicted of murder and in an extraordinary moment in court the victim’s mother said that she did not want anything bad to be said against the accused and she wished him well.

The jury in the first murder trial to be held in Cork took three hours to find 20-year-old Frank Cunningham guilty of murdering 26-year-old father of one, Patrick Walsh in the bedroom of his home in Fairhill last year.
