A Limerick teenager will today be sentenced for his part in the death of schoolboy who was killed in South East Clare nearly two years ago.
19 year old Anthony Mason has pleased guilty to the manslaughter of 16 Roman Vysochan of Westbury, who lost his life following an incident at the Carrig Midhe estate in May of 2008.
Roman Vysochan- a Ukrainian national who had been living in Westbury with his family for a number of years, died after an altercation at the Carrig Meed housing estate on May 10th, 2008
John O’Loughlin, with an address at Cecil St. in Limerick, was found guilty of his murder last year and today 19 year old Anthony Mason with an address at Bishop St. in Limerick will be sentenced for the manslaughter of 16 year old
At his sentencing hearing yesterday, the Central Criminal Court in Dublin heard that Mason had brought the knife with him to the house on the night in question, and it was this weapon that was used by O’Loughlin to stab him to death
However, Mason’s defence counsel argued that his client had foolishly become involved in someone else’s fight, and the court heard that he has no previous convictions.
Mr Justice Paul Carney will impose sentence at a hearing this morning.
