Ireland, April 30 2020
Mark Nash, who was convicted of the notorious Grangegorman murders in 2015, has lost an attempt to claim damages from Irish police for delaying his trial.
Nash claimed that the delay in his trial stopped him getting a fair trial, but his appeal to the European Court of Human Rights was thrown out.
In 1998 Mark Nash was first convicted of killing two people in Roscommon in mid-August 1997. He was given two life sentences.
Then later, in 2015, he was convicted of two more murders from 1997, where two women were found murdered and mutilated in sheltered accommodation in the Grangegorman area of Dublin. The conviction came after a cold case investigation.
