Knocknaheeny trial: Teen denies claims

A TEENAGER who claimed attackers danced on his head, threw him into the boot of a car and drove him to a cemetery, denied yesterday he would say anything in support of his own gang to get other men convicted.

Darren Lenehan, 19, was giving evidence in the trial related to the crashing of two cars that resulted in the deaths of two teens. Six men, facing various charges arising out of a series of incidents culminating in the deaths of two teenagers, are on trial at Cork Circuit Criminal Court.

It was put to Mr Lenehan that he would be hammered by “the Heaphy gang” if he gave evidence that was not in their favour and against others on trial. Witness replied that he wouldn’t give that evidence anyway.
