‘He was in wrong place at wrong time’

“THAT tragic night we lost a father, son, brother and uncle. The grief and pain will always be with us. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

That was the reaction of Karen Doherty, aged 31, outside court after the man who shot her husband was jailed for 12 years. Mr Doherty, a bread delivery man, was shot outside his parents’ home after he attempted to stop a dispute involving his friends and a group of men late on the night of July 4, 2009.

Egan shot dead Wayne Doherty in a “criminal and dangerous manslaughter,” according to Mr Justice Patrick McCarthy.
