According to court records, Robinson and two accomplices broke into a family home on a January night in 2012. The burglars restrained the family with zip ties, pistol-whipped the father, and threatened to kill a three-year-old child while attempting to steal money and jewelry. Police arrived during the burglary, leading to a shootout in which one accomplice fatally shot himself. Robinson was found hiding inside the house and arrested after resisting officers.

In June, Richard Satchwell was sentenced to life for the murder of his wife, Tina - a conviction that brought relief to a grieving family, and closure to a community that had searched and waited for six long years. But Satchwell says the court and jury got it wrong. Now, from behind the walls of Limerick Prison, he's preparing an appeal on at least six grounds, insisting he never intended to kill Tina.
