A sister and support group of the slain Limerick man Jason Corbett have slammed as disgusting and vile, allegations made in a US court hearing that he killed his first wife in 2006 and then tried to murder his second wife in 2015.

Mr Corbett was killed by his father-in-law and his second wife in 2015 in what they say was an act of self-defence. Tom and Molly Martens were convicted of the second-degree murder of the business executive on August 2, 2015.
