The two men accused of murdering a 24-year-old man in Mahon last year by stabbing him 11 times were found guilty of the crime yesterday and they were given sentences of life imprisonment.

John Brett (aged 25), of 26A Leitrim Street, Cork, hung his head and looked at the floor afterwards. Jason Quinlan (aged 29), of 11 Loughmahon Drive, Mahon, Cork, showed no visible reaction. They both denied murdering Brian McKee (aged 24), at Ballinure Avenue, Mahon, Cork, on August 25, 2007.
