Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Imposing sentence today, Ms Justice Creedon noted that following the first assault, Szatkowski and another man were going in and out of the deceased's room taking out his belongings. The judge set a headline sentence of ten years before reducing this to six and a half years after taking mitigation into account, including Szatkowski's plea of guilty to manslaughter and his letter of apology.

Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: They said after they arrived in Ireland, they had to identify their brother before his life support machine was turned off. "We kept thinking about him and the horrible way he left this world," the sisters said in their statement. "We still carry the psychological trauma with us." Mr Baker told the court the Director of Public Prosecutions is of the view that the offence lies in the "high culpability zone" meriting a headline sentence of ten to 15 years.; Ms Justice Eileen Creedon adjourned the matter to February 17 for sentencing.
