Man who stabbed and slashed victim multiple times has sentence backdated

A man who admitted taking part in the brutal slaying of an innocent man has had his 15-year sentence backdated because of a delay in charging him.

Michael Kinsella (24), of Swiftbrook Close in Tallaght pleaded guilty last December to manslaughter for his part in the killing of Adil Essalhi at Tyrrelstown, Dublin on January 6, 2011.
