'I'm sorry': Cork man, 23, killed grandfather after pensioner's alleged sex abuse admission

A 23-year-old man who said he "snapped" and beat his grandfather to death after the pensioner allegedly admitted sexually abusing people has been jailed for four-and-a-half years for manslaughter.

The Cork pensioner was found dead by his wife lying in a pool of his own blood after she returned home from working a night shift, the Central Criminal Court was told today. The court also heard that despite her efforts to be rehoused, the victim's wife remains living at the scene of the violent killing.
