Wayne O'Donoghue's sentence 'not too lenient'

Self-confessed child-killer Wayne O’Donoghue, who strangled his young neighbour in 2004, will serve only a four-year jail sentence for the killing, the appeal court ruled today.

The Court of Criminal Appeal turned down a challenge today by the DPP to the leniency of the four-year prison sentence imposed on O'Donoghue for the killing of his 11-year-old neighbour Robert Holohan.
