"Whacker" Duffy to be returned to NI for life sentence
Stage: Sentence
Outcome: Counsel for Duffy, Anthony Hanrahan BL, had submitted to the High Court that his client had already served "what was deemed by the Sentence Review Commissioner to be an appropriate sentence." He said it was an "unusual case", as the offending behaviour was carried out in a separate jurisdiction in which Duffy would be serving his six-year sentence in full, before having to return to Northern Ireland to once again begin his life sentence.
