'They have caused so much destruction and pain': Sister reacts as men sentenced to life in prison for murder

Two Dubliners have been sentenced to life in prison for murdering the cousin of one of them ‘over a few tablets’, before dumping his body on a roadside in the south of the county. The father-of-one had been stabbed 20 stab times, including through his skull and spine.

Andrew Guerrine’s sister said that her brother had ‘to his detriment’ trusted his cousin and his cousin’s friend, who then laughed and joked throughout their five-week murder trial. Her victim impact statement was read to the Central Criminal Court at their sentence hearing today.
