Michael Casey, 41, of Cathedral Place, Limerick, was arrested on 22 April 2022 and charged with manslaughter in August 2022, while Mark Ryan, 38, of Lenihan Avenue, Prospect, Limerick, was charged with robbery. Casey pleaded guilty to manslaughter in November 2023 and was sentenced to seven years in prison with the final year suspended, while Ryan pleaded guilty to robbery in July 2024 and was sentenced to four and a half years with the final six months suspended.
