Paulo (also reported as Paolo) Nascimento, convicted of the 2002 murder of 24-year-old Grainne Dillon in Limerick, challenges a decision refusing to transfer him to Portugal. Both outlets report that the killing took place in January 2002 at the Jury’s Inn Hotel on Steamboat Quay, when Nascimento murdered his 24-year-old colleague, Grainne Dillon. After the conviction process, he receives a life sentence. The Irish Times states that Nascimento murdered Dillon in 2002 and is now seeking review of the refusal to have him moved to Portugal under transfer arrangements for sentenced prisoners. BreakingNews.ie reports that Nascimento was sentenced to life at the Central Criminal Court in 2003 following a guilty plea to the murder. The current proceedings concern his attempt to overturn or revisit the decision that he will not be transferred, rather than reconsidering the underlying conviction or sentence.
