The court found the killing was deliberate and callous, involving substantial planning and coordination. Keogh was sentenced to the mandatory life term after the guilty verdict, backdated to when he first went into custody. Thomas Fox and Regina Keogh were also convicted and jailed for life; Fox separately received six years for unlawful possession of a handgun, to run concurrently.
