Victim ‘punched’ in back: Accused

Martin Ollo, the 19-year-old student accused of conspiring to assault teenager Stephen Lyne in June 2009 told how Shane Regan had “punched” Mr Lyne in the back.

The three teenagers had gone to a laneway off Ross Road in Killarney to smoke a joint, Mr Ollo told gardaí.

He also spoke of his fear of being killed by Regan if the latter had found out he had told gardaí about what happened on the night.
