The mother of a young man facing a sentence for manslaughter of his grandmother had been trying to organise a depot drug injection for her son’s diagnosed schizophrenia, but the treatment offer she needed for him only arrived in the post two days after the killing.

Brian Nnamdi Ogbo appeared at Cork Circuit Criminal Court for sentencing for the manslaughter of his grandmother at the family home in Carrigaline one year ago.
