Man shot in car died two years later, court hears

A MAN serving a 12-year sentence for the attempted murder of his friend, who has since died, is now on trial for his murder.

Jonathan Dunne, aged 26, of Windmill Park, Crumlin in Dublin, has pleaded not guilty at the Central Criminal Court to murdering Ian Kenny at Lakelands Road, Stillorgan, on July 31, 2009. Mr Kenny, aged 21, also from Crumlin, sustained two gunshot wounds on July 4, 2007.

Brendan Grehan, defending, said the accused had pleaded guilty to the attempted murder in April 2008 and following a sentence hearing a 12-year custodial term was imposed.
