A man who was stabbed and killed after breaking into a house in the middle of the night has been described as a "role model" following his murderer's sentencing yesterday.
Dean Kerrie, 21, from Portarlington in Co Laois, Ireland was on Wednesday jailed for three-and-a-half years by the Central Criminal Court in Dublin, reports the Irish Mirror.
Mr Justice Paul McDermott said that Kerrie, who was 17 at the time, was entitled to use force of himself, his family and his home when Jack Power entered his home.
