The prosecution in a murder trial has described as "a slaughter pen" the car in which the victim was shot dead and his two friends wounded.

A murder trial jury has been shown fragments of bullets recovered from the body of the deceased as well as several bullets found in the car where he was shot.

Two Dublin men have given evidence of being shot in a gun attack in their friend’s driveway in which that friend was killed.
