Dublin man jailed for life for murdering man he found lying in his bed
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Not guilty
Outcome: Defence counsel for Corr, Mr Brendan Grehan SC, told the court he was tasked to indicate on behalf of his client "his profound regret and sorrow that he caused the loss of life" of Mr Humphries and "there is nothing he can say that can change that." Mr Grehan asked the court to backdate the sentence of his client. The court heard Corr was presently on bail but had spent "just over four and a half months in custody before being granted bail." Mr Justice McCarthy then sentenced Corr to life imprisonment and backdated it to August 1 2015.
