Daniel Murtagh, who beat his former partner Nadine Lott to the point where she was "completely unrecognisable", leaving her with "extreme and grotesque" injuries from which she never recovered, has withdrawn his bid to overturn his murder conviction.
Tributes have been paid to the late Kathy Kenna, née Delamere, a well-respected former teacher at Scoil Chaoimhín Naofa, whose funeral service was held on Tuesday.
