Dublin man jailed after hiding murder victim's body in wardrobe

A Dublin man has been jailed for five years for obstructing a murder investigation.

Christopher Jackson’s body was wrapped in bin bags and hidden inside a wardrobe at an apartment on Prussia Street in Dublin in September 2012.

Bernard Locke, of Ramillies Road, Ballyfermot admitted stabbing him over 70 times and is currently serving a life sentence.

Last November, his brother Anthony, of the same address, was found guilty of cleaning the crime scene and helping to hide the body.

Today, the 42-year-old was handed an eight-year sentence with the final three years suspended.
