Ireland Logan Jackson sentenced to 22 years in England over Kevin Sheehy killing
Kevin Sheehy, a Limerick national champion boxer, was killed in the early hours of July 1, 2019, at Hyde Road, Limerick, when Logan Jackson, a man from England, repeatedly drove over him in a UK-registered Mitsubishi Shogun jeep. Jackson was found guilty by a unanimous jury verdict at the Central Criminal Court in Dublin in 2021 and was initially sentenced to life in prison in Ireland in December 2021. He was later transferred out of Limerick Prison to England, where he was sentenced to 22 years, with at least 19 years and 192 days to serve before he can apply for parole. The latest development, reported on July 3, 2024, is that Sheehy's mother, Tracey Tully, has called on Gardaí to act against two people suspected of helping Jackson.
