A violent criminal who brutally hacked a 76-year-old man to death with an axe in the victim’s sheltered accommodation has been sentenced to life in prison.
“You won’t be playing happy families when the sentence is read out. Now you have pleaded guilty, now you have to pay the price for your crime. You can’t escape reality; your children will be asking ‘Where is daddy?’ – that is your reality,” Kwok Ping Cheng's son Jason told his father's murderer Oliver Doran today.
The court heard that the day after the murder, Doran had fled Ireland with his family.
