Philip Disney and Sean Carlyle were sentenced to life in prison for murdering Vincent Parsons, a 34-year-old father of two, after a unanimous jury found them guilty. The judge said Parsons was subjected to a pitiless beating and left for dead.

The court heard that Parsons was attacked after leaving a stag party in Tallaght. CCTV and forensic evidence linked the men to the killing, including bloodstains, hand injuries and the black van in which Parsons’s watch was found. He died in hospital two days after the assault.
