Why was Limerick man Jason Corbett killed?

This day last year Limerick man Jason Corbett was beaten to death in his North Carolina home. His death sparked a custody battle for his children between his Irish relatives and the stepmother who will stand trial for murder next week, writes Joe Leogue

At 3.04am on August 2, 2015 emergency operators in North Carolina received a 911 call from a large four-bedroom home set on a half-acre site on Panther Creek, a quiet cul-de-sac in suburban Davidson County.

“My daughter’s husband, my son-in-law, got in a fight with my daughter. I intervened and I think… he’s in bad shape. We need help,” the 65-year-old caller told operators.
