Wheelie bin killers: Owen Creaney murder profiles

Lurgan man Owen Creaney was assaulted at a house in Moyraverty Court in Craigavon and died on 5 July 2014.

His injuries included a total of 15 fractured ribs and a broken breastbone, as well as bleeding of and tearing to the brain.

The 40-year-old disabled man used a walking aid.

A post-mortem examination concluded that it most likely took two days for him to die.

The court heard his body was "callously dumped" in a green recycling bin and covered with cardboard.

Mr Creaney was assaulted at the Moyraverty Court home of Stephen Thomas Hughes.

The 29-year-old and his co-accused Shaunean Boyle, 25, admitted being present during the attack on Mr Creaney, but denied murder.

The court heard that Mr Hughes had a number of convictions for violence, including attacking a pregnant girlfriend.

He argued that just because he had a "history of violence in the past" did not mean he was responsible.

Mother-of-one Shaunean Boyle, 25, of Edenderry Park, Banbridge, was found guilty of murdering Mr Creaney after denying she was responsible.

The judge said it appeared all three people were drunk when they arrived back at Mr Hughes' home in Moyraverty Court.

Neither of the accused called for medical help for the victim during the two days between the attack and Mr Creaney's death.
