John Mackey
A robber who fatally kicked, punched and stamped on a vulnerable Irish pensioner before taking off with a box of cornflakes and a cottage pie has been sentenced in a London court to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 23 years.
John Mackey (87), who was originally from Callan, Co Kilkenny, but moved to the UK as a young man, was targeted by unemployed Peter Augustine (59) after he visited a Co-op store in Manor House, north London, on the afternoon of May 6.
