Holohan killer seeks court transcript

The 21-year-old convicted of the manslaughter of schoolboy Robert Holohan is seeking the official transcript of his controversial sentencing hearing, it emerged tonight.

Wayne O’Donoghue, from Ballyedmond, Midleton, Co Cork, was sentenced to four years imprisonment at the Central Criminal Court in Ennis in January but there was pandemonium in the packed courtroom when Robert’s mother Majella questioned why evidence of semen discovered on her son’s body had not been presented at the trial.
