Drogheda party death: Pair to be sentenced for violent disorder

A mother of three and a 19-year-old who were cleared of murdering a man at a 2007 Christmas party, are to be sentenced for violent disorder in connection with the death on Thursday morning next.

Louise Wall (aged 22) and her co-accused, Michael Cruise, went on trial for the murder of Darren McKeown last July, but the State's case against them collapsed when the trial judge ruled there was insufficient evidence to convict them.
