Ruth Lawrence received two life sentences in court today.
The woman found guilty of murdering two men, whose bodies were found on an island on a Midlands Lake, has been given a life sentence.
45 year old Ruth Lawrence from Clontarf in Dublin, had denied murdering Eoin O’Connor and Anthony Keegan over a significant drug debt owed by her boyfriend.
Their bodies were discovered on an island on Lough Sheelin - a lake bordering Westmeath, Meath and Cavan.
She was found guilty of murdering both men last month, and today received concurrent life sentences for each murder.
Members of the victims' families spoke in court today of the "torment" of their "horrific" murders.
