A homeless woman, who tried to help her brother get away with it, is back in prison after violating the conditions of her suspended sentence.

Janice Brady, with a last address at Maryville Hostel, Finisklin, Sligo, pleaded with the judge to let her serve the remainder of her sentence.

Keith Brady of the Cartron Estate in Sligo murdered Matt Kivlehan in August 2018 and is now serving a life sentence for it after being convicted last year.

Mr. Kivlehan, a well known musician, was found in his Sligo apartment with obvious stab wounds.
Brady’s sister, Janice, admitted to trying to help her brother by staging the scene in the hopes that the Gardaí would think he had committed suicide. The trial heard that a knife was placed near his neck.

She was jailed for four years, but at the end of last year, the remainder of her sentence was suspended on the condition that she stay with her father in Donegal.

She did not comply and has been charged with more than 30 new crimes.

When she was brought before Mr. J. Michael White today, she told him that she felt “suffocated by the system” and that she wanted to move on with her life without having the sentence hanging over her head.
Mr. White ordered that she be sent back to prison to serve the remainder of her sentence.
