Elena Moram wrote a statement to the Central Criminal Court which was read at a sentence hearing for Arnoldas Ivanauskas (33). Ms Moram told the court that Dmitry’s father passed away when her son was five years old. When he was aged 18, knowing that his diagnosis meant he might not live a long life, he volunteered to be an organ donor. The court heard that the victim had previously undergone two major surgeries to correct a cardiac problem caused by his illness. Mr Nicholas said his client had cooperated with gardaí and didn’t attempt to blame the deceased or “play up” the fact that Mr Hrynkevich had slapped him three times in the face.
