Jail for shooting neighbour

A DUBLIN teenager has been jailed for seven years for the manslaughter of his neighbour, whom he shot in the chest after the mechanic had threatened to put him in a wheelchair.

Conor Duffy, aged 18, of St Mary’s Road in East Wall, had denied murdering Aidan O’Kane, aged 50, in a laneway in East Wall in December 2008.

The father-of-one had chased the youth into the lane after he and other teenagers threw eggs at his house and taunted him as he cleaned up the mess.
