Prosecution closes case in Geoghegan murder trial

The prosecution has closed its case in the trial of Limerick man John Dundon, who is accused of murdering rugby player Shane Geoghegan almost five years ago.

The 30-year-old, from Hyde Road in Limerick, is on trial at the Special Criminal Court, where he has pleaded not guilty to murdering the Garryowen player on Nov 9, 2008.

Mr Geoghegan, aged 28, was gunned down in a case of mistaken identity as he returned home to his girlfriend in Dooradoyle, Limerick, at around 1am. He died of gunshot wounds to his head and trunk just metres from his home at Clonmore, Kilteragh.
