Killer brothers laugh and grin as judge jails them for manslaughter

Two brothers laughed and grinned as a judge sentenced them for manslaughter.

Jay Byrne, 26, of Leyland Road in Southport and Joseph Byrne, 25, of no fixed abode, were sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court on Thursday (March 16). They pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Christopher Molloy, although both were cleared of murder after a trial.

A teenage boy, who can't be named for legal reasons, was also sentenced. He was convicted of murder by the jury after three hours and 41 minutes of deliberation.
