Killer who left taxi driver to die alone on country road has sentence increased
Stage: Appeal
Outcome: Mr Treacy said the sentence was unduly lenient due to the particular devastation caused to the Mulligan family, the build-up to the killing, the aftermath, the use of the knife, the "brutality", Hillen's convictions for dangerous driving while on bail for the killing, his previous convictions and his "lack of honesty".
