Tyler Jackson to be sentenced next week for murdering man in Mallow

Prosecution senior counsel Ray Boland said only one sentence can be given for the offence — life imprisonment

Tyler Jackson (pictured) had denied the charge of murdering 24-year-old Conor Quinn at Bridge Street, Mallow, in July 2018.

The young Mallow man who denied murdering a 24-year-old Galway man by stabbing him in the North Cork town more than five years ago was found guilty of murder on Thursday.

A family member whispered across the courtroom to the accused man, Tyler Tiggy Jackson, moments after the guilty verdict was delivered: “Are you OK?” He nodded back to the woman, quietly mouthing the words: “It’s OK.”
