Aunt says hearing would have been opportunity for niece’s killer, Jordan McSweeney, to face up to his actions
Offenders could be forced to show up in person for sentencing after the family of a murdered woman told ministers they wanted to confront her killer in court.
Zara Aleena’s aunt said the family wanted Jordan McSweeney to hear how he “completely destroyed” them in person after he opted not to attend his sentencing hearing in December.
