Man found guilty of impeding murder trial

A Dublin man will be sentenced for impeding a murder trial after he was found not guilty last month of murder.

Alan Harte, aged 33, of Clareville Grove, Glasnevin, pleaded not guilty to the murder of his friend, Peter Gunn, 28, on January 4, 2009, at Phibsborough.

Paul Coffey SC prosecuting told the court yesterday that the verdict of not guilty of murder had been unanimous but that Harte had been found guilty of assisting in the disposal of Mr Gunn’s body.
