Molly Martens Corbett, Tom Martens to remain in prison.

Molly Martens Corbett, Tom Martens le fanacht i bpríosún.

The prison service in North Carolina in the United States has admitted that a mistake was made when calculating how long Molly Martens Corbett and her father Tom Martens were to spend in prison.

Tá sé admhaithe ag an tseirbhís phríosúin in North Carolina sna Stáit Aontaithe go ndearnadh dearmad nuair a bhíothas ag ríomh cén fad a bhí le caitheamh i bpríosún ag Molly Martens Corbett agus ag a hathair Tom Martens.

It was revealed yesterday that the two were to be released this week but it was later announced that they would be kept in prison until next June.

Tugadh le fios inné go raibh an bheirt le scaoileadh saor an tseachtain seo ach fógraíodh ina dhiaidh sin go gcoinneofaí i bpríosún iad go dtí mí an Mheithimh seo chugainn.

Molly Martens Corbett and Tom Martens were convicted in the murder of Jason Corbett, a 39-year-old man from Limerick who was beaten and killed in his home in North Carolina eight years ago.

Ciontaíodh Molly Martens Corbett agus Tom Martens i ndúnorgain Jason Corbett, fear 39 bliain d'aois as Luimneach a bascadh agus a maraíodh ina theach in North Carolina ocht mbliana ó shin.

Before it was confirmed last night that they were to be kept in prison, the family of Jason Corbett in Limerick indicated that the report about the release of the two had hurt them greatly and said that the authorities in North Carolina had wronged them.

Sular deimhníodh aréir go raibh siad le coinneáil i bpríosún, thug teaghlach Jason Corbett i Luimneach le fios gur ghoill an tuairisc faoi shaoradh na beirte go mór orthu agus dúirt go raibh loicthe ag na húdaráis in North Carolina orthu.

Molly Martens Corbett was married to Jason Corbett, a business manager whose body was found in the master bedroom of the couple's home in Wallburg, North Carolina in August 2015.

Bhí Molly Martens Corbett pósta ar Jason Corbett, bainisteoir gnó a bhfuarthas a chorp sa phríomhsheomra codlata i dteach cónaithe na lánúine in Wallburg, North Carolina i mí Lúnasa 2015.

Jason Corbett's two young children – Sarah and Jack – were in the house at the time.

Bhí beirt pháistí óga Jason Corbett – Sarah agus Jack – sa teach ag an am.

The children's mother died in 2006 and Jason Corbett married Molly Martens in Limerick in 2011 before the family moved to America.

Cailleadh máthair na bpáistí in 2006 agus phós Jason Corbett Molly Martens i Luimneach in 2011 sular bhog an teaghlach go Meiriceá.

In 2017, Molly Martens Corbett and Tom Martens were convicted of Jason Corbett's murder and sentenced to 20 years and 25 years in prison respectively.

In 2017, ciontaíodh Molly Martens Corbett agus Tom Martens i ndúnmharú Jason Corbett agus gearradh príosún 20 bliain agus 25 bliain ar an dís faoi seach.

That conviction was overturned in 2020 on the grounds, it was said, that important evidence was withheld from the jury at trial.

Cuireadh an ciontú sin ar neamhní in 2020 ar an mbonn, a dúradh, gur coinníodh fianaise thábhachtach ón ngiúiré sa triail.

Last October, however, they pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter.

I mí Dheireadh Fómhair seo caite, áfach, phléadáil siad ciontach i ndúnorgain thoilteanach.
