Jane Corcoran was jailed for six years after pleading guilty to helping move Stephen Ring’s body and lying to gardaí. The Central Criminal Court heard that she helped move his remains from her home to Carrigfoyle Quarry, where they were discovered 13 days later. The court was told she falsely accused another man of assaulting Ring.

The judge set a nine-year headline sentence, reduced it to six years and nine months after mitigation, including Corcoran’s guilty plea, then suspended the final nine months for two years subject to conditions. He cited her lack of insight and the impact on Ring’s family. A later report confirmed that the six-year term was imposed.
