Criminal burgles home of man he saved from drowning

A Tallaght man will be sentenced later at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court for burgling the family home of a man he saved from drowning in the canal.

Kenneth Nevin (aged 27) of Kilcarrig Green broke into Mr Raymond McMahon’s house in the neighbouring cul-de-sac and demanded €60 he claimed the family owed him for a Mater Hospital bill, when they discovered him in the sitting room with a screwdriver up his sleeve.
