JASON Corbett's twin brother has opened up about the horrific evidence he saw in court, saying: "They didn't just kill him, they slaughtered him".
A jury of nine women and three men yesterday took a total of about three hours over two days to find Molly Martens Corbett, 33, and her father Thomas Martens, 67, guilty of second-degree murder on August 2, 2015.
The pair have been sentenced to 20 to 25 years for the killing of her Limerick ex-husband.
Thomas, a former FBI agent, remained expressionless as he exited the Davidson County Superior Court in handcuffs, while Molly told her mother she was "I'm sorry".
Inside the courtroom, where for several weeks, pictures of Jason's bloodied body was shown to the jurors as well as crime-scene photos and autopsy pictures, his family broke into tears and embraced one another as the verdict was read.
And Jason's twin Wayne Corbett this morning told how seeing the horrific evidence in court was "very traumatic" for him.
He told Morning Ireland: "It was extremely difficult for all of us. The photographic evidence that people won't see. Stuff that you will never get out of your mind.
"There was about seven hundred photographs of Jason and the crime scene taken by the Davidson County Police Department.
"It is very difficult to comprehend what they did to Jason.
"They didn't just kill him, they slaughtered him for want of a better word.
"There was blows to the back of his head after he died. That was proven by the state pathologist.
"How many times that was I don't know but he was definitely dead when he was struck.
"What they did to Jason, his injuries, it was very horrific to see".
He added: "Who would bring a brick up to their bedroom? I seen the brick on a number of occasions in the courthouse and it's still red."
Catherine Fitzpatrick, the sister of Jason's first wife, Mags, told the Sean O'Rourke Show on RTE Radio One that Molly made life difficult for the families after Jason's death.
She said: "She made everything difficult from the start, she didn't just murder them she caused a lot of hurt.
"After his death she even sent the bill for Jason's ambulance from the night he died to his parents."
Wayne said: "I remember when my sister Tracy, her husband David and a few friends went to North Carolina after Jason's death and Molly had his body moved to different funeral homes a few times.
"She wouldn't tell them where he was at first."
And Wayne also told how he felt Molly was very "false" and Thomas was a "very arrogant man."
He added: "I got on with him for the sake of Jason... There wasn't a natural liking there, but we got on with her for the sake of Jason and Mags' kids.
"She just seemed a bit to false to me to be honest."
Wayne continued: "You'd never that to happen to anyone let alone my twin brother."
The father and daughter duo were removed from the courthouse in cuffs and transported to prison to start their new lives behind bars.
