Ogonowska's Sentence Upheld

Martyna Ogonowska's appeal for a reduced sentence was denied, leaving her to serve 17 years for the 2018 murder of Filip Jaskiewicz.

Kinsella's Sentence Overturned

Aaron Lee Kinsella Kelly, 23, saw his one-month jail sentence for assault overturned in an appeal, as the judge recognized the original punishment as too lenient given the brutal nature of the attack on his former partner. Now, he faces a suspended sentence, a €500 payment to a women's refuge, and a mandate to keep his distance from the victim's home.
