A suspected victim of human trafficking who killed a seven-foot five-inch Belarusian man has been jailed for six years with the final 12 months suspended.

Lithuanian Arnoldas Ivanauskas (aged 33), with an address at The Parklands, Tralee, Co Kerry, was acquitted of murder and convicted of manslaughter earlier this year for killing 24-year-old Dmitry Hrynkevich. In garda interviews the accused said a second man, who was not before the court, attacked Mr Hrynkevich and that he "joined in", punching the deceased at least once on the side of the head.
