Court reserves judgement in Cork murder appeal trial

The Court of Criminal Appeal has reserved judgement in the case of a man appealing against his conviction for the murder of a young Cork father three-and-a-half years ago.

John Brett (aged 27) of Leitrim Street, Cork, was sentenced to life imprisonment by Mr Justice Paul Carney in December 2008, after a Central Criminal Court jury found him guilty of the murder of plasterer Brian McKee (aged 24).
