Eamon Lillis likely to be released from jail today.

Eamonn Lillis is expected to be released from prison today after serving just over 5 years for killing his wife Celine Cawley.

The former television executive was jailed in February 2010 after being found guilty of manslaughter.

Lillis killed his wife during a row at the family home on Windgate road in the north Dublin suburb of Howth in December 2008.

As a result of good behaviour at Wheatfield Prison, he qualifies for a remission of a quarter of his sentence and is expected to walk free today.
