The Central Criminal Court has heard evidence of a series of attempted hijackings and a serious assault in Dundalk town, in the minutes leading up to the alleged murder of Aidan Myers in 2006.

Witnesses in the case of a man on trial for murder, assault and hijacking have described how they saw a man driving a car repeatedly up and down their street, ram it into a parked car and reverse it at speed towards people.

A Dundalk man today pleaded guilty at the Special Criminal Court to unlawful possession of firearms.
