• Man jailed for manslaughter of 82-year-old grandmother in Cork Manslaughter · Co. Cork

  A 39-year-old man, Brian Nnadi Ogbo, was jailed for the manslaughter of his 82-year-old grandmother, Stella Ejiatu Nnadi, after dragging her down the stairs at their home in Carrigaline, Co Cork. The incident began on 23 February 2025 when Ogbo got into a row with his mother, Ruby Ogbo, and the victim died at Cork University Hospital on 25 February 2025 from blunt force trauma to the head. Ogbo, who had a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia and was without his anti-psychotic medication, was arrested at the scene and pleaded guilty at Cork Circuit Criminal Court in November 2025. In May 2026, Judge Sinéad Behan sentenced him to five years in jail with 18 months suspended, backdated to 27 February 2025, while describing the lack of psychiatric care as an unforgivable systems failure.
