'He killed the whole family': Limerick man jailed for St Patrick's Day nightclub stabbing

Accused produced a knife during a fight with two unarmed men at Shannon Knights nightclub and stabbed Jamie Higgins to death in the early hours of March 18, 2018

The judge said it was clear from statements made by Jamie Higgins's mother, partner and sister that the deceased was 'much loved and his death has had a profound impact on those close to him'.

A killer who left a nightclub following a fight, armed himself with a knife and then stabbed his victim five times when another row broke out, has been jailed for nine years by a judge at the Central Criminal Court.

Mr Justice Paul Burns handed down the sentence to Nathan O'Neill, who produced a knife during a fight with two unarmed men and stabbed Jamie Higgins to death.
