A Mayo man who murdered two elderly brothers with special needs has been told to "rot in hell" by their family after losing an appeal against his conviction.
However, he was unanimously found guilty of murder by a jury after an hour and 42 minutes of deliberations and was given the mandatory life sentence by Mr Justice Paul Coffey on 25 July 2017. He bought a bottle of wine around 5pm on 9 July and was seen drinking three pints of Guinness in pubs later that evening
Counsel for Cawley, Caroline Biggs SC, said the trial judge told the jury that they had to "subtract" intoxication and had to consider what Cawley would have done without intoxication, in the context of a purported mental disorder.
The family are correct: he is 'a murdering scumbag'. Now, let's see if justice prevails and he serves a proper sentence.
