Family 'haunted' by thought of brother 'waiting to die so alone' while wedged in chute

A man was jailed for life today for the murder of a five foot two inch “frail and shy” user of the services of the Simon Community who suffered a gruesome death after he was thrown down a 40ft rubbish chute at an apartment complex in Cork city.

The family of Liam Manley who died on May 12, 2013, after he was firstly assaulted and then dumped down a chute at the Garden City Apartments in North Main Street, Cork, said that they were serving their own life sentence in "living with the nightmare" of what had happened to their beloved brother.
