The sister of Robin Wilkin has said she feels overwhelmed by the lack of remorse shown by her brother's "cold, calculating" murderers and by the way they dumped his body over Ireland's tallest cliffs "as if his life was worthless".

Alan Vial and Nikita Burns were found guilty of 66-year-old Mr Wilkin's murder on Thursday and on Friday Mr Justice Paul McDermott sentenced both to the mandatory term of life imprisonment.
