Two jailed for shotgun killing of street entertainer

TWO Wicklow men have been found guilty of shooting dead a French street entertainer at the Central Criminal Court.

Mr Justice Paul Carney imposed mandatory life imprisonment terms on Declan Sheridan, 24, and James O’Connor, 28, after a jury found them guilty of the murder of Charles Sinapayen.

Sheridan, of Sea Road, Kilcoole, and O’Connor, of Kilbridge Grove in Bray, had both pleaded not guilty to the murder of Mr Sinapayen at Richmond Hill, Bray, in May 2009.
