The murderers of 47-year-old Kieran Quilligan started life sentences on Wednesday as the victim’s parents described them as monsters who had shown no remorse and who would never be forgiven.

Mr Quilligan was beaten and hammered to death, thrown into the boot of a car to be taken from Cork City to a remote place in East Cork where his remains were left hidden, Detective Garda Anne O’Sullivan said today as 28-year-old Luke Taylor, formerly of Cherry Lawn, Blackrock, Cork, and 33-year-old Niall Long, formerly of St. Michael’s Close, Mahon, Cork, got life sentences for murder.
