Man shot in petrol station died from his wounds

A bread deliveryman who was shot in a Limerick petrol station three years ago died from multiple gunshot wounds, the Central Criminal Court has heard.

John Coughlan, aged 33, of Pineview Gardens, Moyross, has pleaded not guilty to murder but guilty to the manslaughter of Daniel Treacy, aged 35, at Topaz garage, Caherdavin, Ennis Rd, on Feb 22, 2010.

However, the court was told the plea was not acceptable to the prosecution and a jury was sworn in for the two-week trial.
