Horrific. Probably too much to ask that these scumbags now get charged with manslaughter.
Murder is most appropriate charge in my opinion. RIP to Tom.
By all accounts a very nice man.
One thing the US gets right is that committing manslaughter in the process of another serious crime (like an aggravated burglary) automatically gets upgraded to murder.
these type of murders always stand out for me for some reason. The Dundon lads commited one down in Limerick and there was a horrendous one in Waterford. I can’t imagine how frightening it must be for someone in their own home

EDIT: And for those keeping score at home, I’m sure you’ll be stunned to find out that the savages fit enough to beat this man to death were, of course, [on disability at the time](https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/courtandcrime/arid-40826204.html)
