Following Ireland's guilty plea, it emerged that he was a serial offender who continued to commit violent crimes despite being on bail.
Prosecutor Richard Wright QC said psychiatric assessments on Ireland - a one-time Newcastle United hopeful - deemed him a"dangerous offender"."Nothing stopped him. He continued and he murdered my husband.The court heard Mr Duncan's 15-year-old son was in the city centre that evening for a cinema trip and saw the cordoned off area without realising his much-loved father had been attacked.
The judge added that Ireland's offending started at the age of 14, with previous offences including theft, battery, public order and making threats with knives on his record.
15 years that’s crap he’s killed someone that should be no less than 25 to 30 years no less with out parole
Time to show 'You take a Life - It'll cost you your own Life !!' Think actions lead to dire consequences! Only one course of Action now !!
Still be a young man when he gets out so where is the justice.
Full life term it should have been... scum!!
15 years ? Absolute joke!
Is that all? Come on Boris - time to make these scumbags pay their dues......🤔
Can someone please explain the relevance of mentioning Gregg's.?
Unfortunately under this government he won’t serve this!
A minimum of 15 years for murder? What does one have to do to get a life sentence in the UK then?
He should just be put down. Let’s hope every single day in prison for him is a living nightmare and that he ends up with an arsehole as wide as the Mersey tunnel.
On bail with 31 previous convictions and our system believes 15 years minimum is the appropriate sentence. This creature will never offer anything to society but we will offer him the chance to ruin more lives again with this pathetic sentence
15 years ffs....someone sort out justice system out
It should be 35yrs.
We should bring back hanging, 15 years is a disgrace, he’ll be out in 7 years🤬🤬
Disgraceful sentence by our soft justice system, it should have been 30 yrs minimum
Think they missed a 0 off the end of 15
Imagine what he'll be like when he gets out of our prison system in about 10 ......a pillar of society?
Minimum 15yrs!!! Derisory should me absolute minimum starting at 40yrs because of his age
We live in 2019. Having the death penalty does nothing. If a person was wrongly convicted they would die and the criminal would walk the streets
Bastard should have been hung
15 years 🤣🤣🤣
15 years is such a soft sentence. patel4witham please hurry up with tougher ( proper ) sentences.
A monstrous failing to protect the innocent from a psychopath. Three strikes would take people like this off the streets.
Tougher sentences needed, he should never see the light of day again
15 years for murder? This is the kind of bollocks justice that emboldens thugs!!! Life imprisonment at the very least would be justice! He will be out on licence in no time.
Death sentence needs to be reintroduced.
Should have been a whole life sentence come on BorisJohnson have the minister for justice look into this and change it
Should be life ! A murder should mean life imprisonment simples.
