Witness is snaky and crooked, court hears

A convicted Limerick criminal who is giving evidence at the trial of two men charged with the murder of businessman Roy Collins was described as a "crooked, snaky c**t" by his sister’s partner, the Special Criminal Court has heard.

Gareth Collins, aged 31, had told the non-jury court he was offered €20,000 to take part in the killing of publican Steve Collins, the father of murdered Limerick businessman Roy Collins.

Wayne Dundon, aged 35, of Lenihan Avenue, Prospect, and Nathan Killeen, aged 23, of Hyde Rd, Prospect, have pleaded not guilty to the murder of 35-year-old Roy Collins at Coin Castle Amusements, Roxboro Rd Shopping Centre, on April 9, 2009.
