‘Inmates worked as Dundon chatted’

A court has heard one of the men charged with murdering businessman Roy Collins was allowed to spend his days in prison chatting with his cousin while all other prisoners worked or were locked in their cells.

A prison officer from Wheatfield Prison was giving evidence to the Special Criminal Court yesterday in the trial of two Limerick men charged with murdering the 35-year-old on April 9, 2009.

Wayne Dundon, aged 36, of Lenihan Avenue, Prospect, and Nathan Killeen, aged 24, of Hyde Rd, Prospect, have both pleaded not guilty to the murder at Coin Castle Amusements, Roxboro Road Shopping Centre, Limerick.
