Dead man’s DNA found on the shoes of accused
Seán Flanagan, aged 28, and his uncle Paul Colbert, aged 46, of Lenihan Avenue, Prospect, in Limerick City, are charged with the murder of Gerard McMahon, aged 43, on Jan 18, 2012. They have pleaded not guilty to murdering him outside his cousin’s house, also on Lenihan Avenue.
Ian Flanagan, aged 24, brother of Seán, of the same address as his co-accused, has pleaded not guilty to two counts of assisting an offender on the same date. He is accused of removing a CCTV recording device from their house, knowing it might form evidence in a prosecution.
