THE FATHER and daughter who were convicted of killing Limerick man Jason Corbett have won a full retrial over the murder of the father-of-two.
Tom and Molly Martens have been in North Carolina prisons since their conviction for second degree murder almost four years ago.
The North Carolina Supreme Court today ratified a Court of Appeal decision that the father and daughter should have a new trial as it was deemed their ability to argue self defence at their 2017 trial had been unfairly hindered.
The sister of murder victim Jason Corbett has shared a disgusting message from an online troll on social media.
The Limerick man died on August 2, 2015 after sustaining fatal head injuries in the flat he shared with his second wife Molly Martens in Walburg, North Carolina.
His wife Molly and her father Thomas were found guilty of second-degree murder in 2017.

Last year, a court in North Carolina granted Molly and Thomas Martens the right to a retrial as the pair seek to overturn their convictions and their prison sentences of 20 to 25 years.
