Artwork by convicted killer Lillis to form part of exhibition

Convicted killer Eamonn Lillis will have two of his own paintings showcased at a national exhibition of prison art opening to the public this week.

The pair of watercolours were created by Lillis at Wheatfield Prison, where he is serving a six years and 11 months sentence for killing his wife Celine Cawley with a brick at their home in Howth, Co Dublin, more than three years ago.
