Manorcunningham man Damien McLaughlin who died following a knife attack in London.
TWO men have been jailed for a total of 30 years for the murder of a Donegal man in England earlier this year.
Damien McLaughlin (42), from Manorcunningham was stabbed to death in north London on April 22.
Following his trial, 18-year-old Eduardo Embalo of Dowsett Road, London, has been found guilty of manslaughter and possession of an offensive weapon. He was sentenced to 14 years behind bars. Andre Joseph (25) was given 16 years for the same charges.
However both were found not guilty of murder, The Sun newspaper has reported.
The court heard how Damien McLaughlin desperately tried to fight back after he was chased and stabbed to death.
The 42-year-old was surrounded and knifed in the heart in front of shocked residents in Enfield. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Embalo was caught shortly afterwards as he spotted by police acting suspiciously near the murder scene.
Days later, Joseph was arrested at a nearby address.
Mobile phone footage, CCTV and witness statements identified the pair as the attackers.
It is believed that Damien McLaughlin was known to at least one of the attackers.
A third man, Omar Warner (18) of Marshside Close, London was found not guilty of murder, manslaughter or possession of an offensive weapon.
