Double murderer stabbed fellow prisoner with sharpened spoon
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: The sentence will run alongside his two life terms as required by law, meaning Howard will serve no extra time in prison. "The attack was savage," Judge Nolan said as he imposed sentence at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court. He was jailed for life in 2012 for the murders of Patrick Mooney (58) and Brendan Molyneux (46) who were shot dead in inner city Dublin in January 2010.
