Judge's regret at 'sad and grim duty' to sentence former soldier to life for murder

A former British Army soldier was today found guilty of murder for stabbing a man to death outside a chip shop.

Donal Colgan (aged 66) had pleaded not guilty to murder but guilty to the manslaughter of 44-year-old David Sheridan, who died after Mr Colgan stabbed him outside Luigi's takeaway on Dublin's North Strand Road on August 17, 2014.
