    I'm trying to find an article I read about 6 months ago in one of the British papers. I'm sure that it was in either The Times, The Guardian or The Independent. Is there anywhere in Dublin that archives copies of these papers for reference?

    All of them have online archives I think?

    Its difficult to use the online archives, all I know is:

    It was an article describing how a middle aged man was beaten to death by two youths aged around 21/22(I think they may have been part of a boxing club). They attacked him when he accosted them for attacking a homeless man. I think he was accompanied by family members(possibly newphews)

    Its quite vague I know, but I would really like to get hold of this piece if possible.

    Regards,

    Lee

    This looks like it:

    Guardian Tuesday 9 June 2009

    Brothers plead guilty to killing banker in Norwich street brawl

    Tom and Ben Cowles admit manslaughter of Frank McGarahan during incident in city centre

    Two brothers pleaded guilty today to killing a wealthy banker after he tried to intervene to stop another man being beaten up during a night out.

    Tom Cowles, 22, and his brother Ben, 21, both of Norwich, admitted the manslaughter of Frank McGarahan during an incident in the city in the early hours of 28 September last year.

    McGarahan, 45, of Much Hadham, Hertfordshire, died in hospital after suffering head injuries, Norwich crown court heard.

    Both brothers had denied murder but admitted affray, and Ben Cowles also admitted assaulting another man.

    And here:

    Two brothers, both promising boxers at school, admitted killing a Barclays Bank executive when he intervened to stop a gang of men attacking a homeless man in Norwich.

    Tom Cowles, 22, and his brother Ben, 21 pleaded guilty today at Norwich Crown Court to beating to death millionaire Frank McGarahan.

    The 45-year-old financier who had some of the world’s richest people among his clients had been in Norwich celebrating a christening with his brothers, Tony and Kevin, and cousin Sean Ryan. As they waited for a taxi, in the early hours of the morning, they saw a gang of men attacking Robertas Sinkevicius, a man of “down-and-out” appearance.
