A support group for the family of slain Limerick man Jason Corbett called on the US justice system to return his killers to prison as they mark the seventh anniversary of his death.

Molly and Tom Martens were convicted of the second-degree murder of the father of two at his North Carolina home on August 2, 2015. The pair had pleaded they acted in self-defence. The 38-year-old and her 72-year-old father, a retired FBI agent, both served four years of 20 and 25 years of their respective convictions for second-degree murder in their 2017 joint trial.
