Family in tears as 19-year-old is jailed for up to 60 YEARS for killing his sister's 'abusive' boyfriend - even though he did it in 'self defense'

A teenager has been found guilty of killing his sister's ex-boyfriend and has been sentenced to 20 to 60 years behind bars. Connor McCowen broke down in court as the sentence was handed out on Wednesday and so did his family, including his sister whose claims of abuse prompted the fatal fight between her brother and her boyfriend. McCowan claimed he had to stab Andrew Singler in self defense, and a number of family members from both sides spoke at the emotional trial.
