Brazilian national appeals sentence for stabbing Waterford man in 'retribution' for racial assault

A Brazilian national jailed for killing a man who had assaulted and racially abused him earlier that evening has moved to appeal his sentence.

Juraci Da Silva (aged 36), with an address at Park Lane Apartments in Waterford, had admitted killing James 'Jay' Banville at New Street in the city in the early hours of October 8, 2016, but denied it was murder.
