Overview
- The case, which returned to court after Friday's sentencing hearing in Cork, is set for sentencing on April 17.
- A jury found Dylan Magee, 33, guilty of manslaughter by diminished responsibility for the 2023 attack that led to 88-year-old Matthew Healy’s death.
- Evidence said Magee was hallucinating on admission and had used cannabis, claimed heavy benzodiazepine use, and tested positive for morphine.
- The Probation Service assessed a moderate reoffending risk, and the judge will review two psychiatric reports and the probation report before deciding the term.
- Matthew Healy’s daughter asked for the maximum sentence and argued that impairment caused by drug withdrawal should not lessen punishment.
