Victim's family slams killers' sentences

The family of a murdered Catholic schoolboy hit out at the jail terms handed down today to the Protestant gang which beat him to death.

While the four men guilty of 15-year-old Michael McIlveen’s sectarian murder in Ballymena three years ago were given life sentences at Antrim Crown Court today, the longest any of them will have to serve before being considered for release is 13 years.
