Two men who carried out a “brutal and sustained attack” on a homeless man in Maghera were today (Monday) jailed for his manslaughter.
Adrian Kozak, 22, and 21-year old Caolon Michael Johnston were both teenagers when they beat Polish national Piotr Krowka to death at the back of a disused parochial house in the Co Derry town in March 2018.
Kozak - who was 17 at the time and who was also involved in previous attacks on Mr Krowka prior to the fatal assault - was handed an eight-year sentence. From Garvey Wood in Ballymena, his sentence was divided equally between custody and licence.
