Witness ‘could have saved rugby player’s life’

A Limerick woman has agreed that she could have saved Shane Geoghegan’s life if she had taken two opportunities to report a planned murder in the hours before the shooting.

April Collins, 26, was giving evidence to the Special Criminal Court in the trial of 30-year-old Limerick man John Dundon, who is charged with murdering the Garryowen rugby player.

The trial has heard that the 28-year-old was gunned down in a case of mistaken identity as he returned home to his girlfriend around 1am, Nov 9, 2008. He died at the scene of gunshot wounds to his head and body.
