Son of murder victim Amanda Carroll: 'I love you and I miss you ma'
Dennis Carroll was just 16 years old when he came home from playing football to find his mother Amanda dead in the bed of her home in Cabra, north Dublin, in October 2018.
She had been strangled to death by her then partner Sean Nolan before the callous killer fled the scene knowing Dennis would find the body.
Nolan, from Ashington Crescent, Navan Road, Dublin, was sentenced to life in prison at the Central Criminal Court this week after being convicted of Amanda's murder following a three-week trial.
In an emotional interview with the Sunday World, 18-year-old Dennis said he'd never forget finding his mother's body and never forgive Nolan for what he did.
