Joseph Joyce has been told he will spend a minimum of ten years in jail for the murder of 18-year old John Paul McDonagh.
Mr McDonagh died two days after sustaining a fatal wound to his lower left leg during a 'street battle' which erupted in Co Fermanagh.
As he imposed a minimum tariff of ten years for the murder today, Mr Justice Rooney said that whilst he accepted Joyce did not intent to kill Mr McDonagh, he spoke of the loss to the deceased's family due to his "traumatic and unnecessary death."
