Derek Brady was sentenced to six years and eight months for aggravated burglary at the Court of Appeal, reported on 14 July 2023. The court quashed his five-year term, which had suspended its final 15 months, and imposed a 10-year headline sentence with a one-third discount. The burglary took place at a homeowner’s residence on 12 June 2022.

The court found the original sentence unduly lenient. It also restructured a separate consecutive two-year sentence for robbery and attempted robbery, suspending its final year to encourage rehabilitation.
