I was stitched up, claims man charged with double murder

A 22-YEAR-OLD man charged yesterday for last weekend’s double murder told the judge he was “stitched up”.

Gary Howard, from Dunsoghly Grove, Finglas, north Dublin, was brought before a special sitting of Dublin District Court under heavy armed guard.

He was charged with the murder of Brendan Molyneaux, 46, and Paddy Mooney, 58, at Pearse House flats complex, Pearse Street, in Dublin’s south inner city, last Sunday evening.
