Latvian man's sentence deemed 'too lenient'

The Court of Criminal Appeal has set aside the four year sentence given to a Latvian man of the manslaughter of a Lithuanian father-of-one whom he stabbed in the neck on the grounds that the term was unduly lenient.

In November 2006, Jurijs Princs, with an address at Cromwellsfort House, Wexford, was jailed for the manslaughter of Robertas Stravinskas, at a rented flat in Cromwellsfort House, in May 2005, but was not found guilty of his murder by a jury at the Central Criminal Court.
