No justice for our son, say Brian Murphy’s parents

THE parents of Brian Murphy yesterday said there was “no justice” for their son after the only person convicted of his killing was told yesterday he was “free to go”.

Speaking outside the court where the DPP directed the manslaughter retrial of Dermot Laide to be dropped, Denis Murphy said the family had held a long meeting with the prosecuting council following the decision by the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to abandon the retrial.

“We will digest what he said and formulate our thoughts and after that we might have something to say,” he said.
