Woman Given 14 Years For Murder
A Newry woman has been sentenced to a minimum of 14 years in prision for the murder of a homeless Polish man in 2009.
Lindsay White, from Mary Street, who was 20-years-old at the time of the murder, is the second person convicted of killing 40-year-old Marek Muszynski in 2009.
Twenty-year-old Adrian Cunningham,from Lisgullion Park, Newry, is already serving at least 11 years in jail after admitting the murder.
It is understood that 23-year-old White stood on the neck of the victim while he was beaten on the ground in what the judge described as an "horrific attack on a drunk and largely defenceless man".
The court was shown CCTV footage which placed both White and Cunningham at the scene and shows them causally walking away after the attack.
Ms White's defense alleged that she was set up by her partner in the crime, Cunningham, but the judge rejected the claim.
When handing down the sentence the judge said that White had shown little remorse for the crime.
