Fri 02 Feb 2010Lillis awaits sentencing as court told of 'treacherous lies'
EAMONN LILLIS, the 52-year-old TV advertising director convicted last Friday of the manslaughter of his wife, Celine Cawley, was remanded in custody yesterday after his sentencing hearing was adjourned to this morning.
At a sometimes emotional hearing, the court was told that two victim impact statements had been presented, one by the 17-year-old daughter of Celine Cawley and Eamonn Lillis and the second by Ms Cawley’s sister, Susanna. Only the second was read to the court. In it, she made repeated references to Eamonn Lillis, though only once mentioning him by name. She referred to the “treacherous lies”, which she said were “overwhelming”.
