Limerick man loses murder appeal

A Limerick man who murdered a Ukrainian-born teenager by stabbing him through the chest has failed in an appeal against his conviction.

In July 2010, John O’Loughlin (aged 23), with a last address at Cecil Street in Limerick city, was jailed for life by Mr Justice Paul Carney after he was unanimously found guilty by a Central Criminal Court jury of the murder of 16-year-old Roman Vysochan.
