Jail appeal rejected for woman who killed Kilkenny man in London

A woman who helped her boyfriend target and murder a Kilkenny man in London has had her appeal application rejected by an English court, according to the Irish Daily Mail.

In March, Diana Cristea was convicted of helping her boyfriend Joel Osei kill Adrian Murphy in 2019 with an overdose.

The pair targeted the 43-year-old from Kilkenny on gay dating app, Grindr, before murdering him.

They were both found guilty of murder following a trial at Croydon Crown Court.

Cristea was sentenced to 16 years in prison, while Osei was given a minimum 32 years behind bars.

Cristea sought to appeal her conviction claiming the sentence was 'excessive', but her appeal was dismissed by the 3-judge England and Wales Court of Appeal.
