Witness ‘ran from murder victim’s car’ when he saw vehicle pull up

The passenger in a car driven by a man shot dead in front of his daughter told a murder trial jury he ran when another car pulled up beside him.

Keith O’Neill, aged 39, from Lissadell Drive, Drimnagh in Dublin, has pleaded not guilty to murdering John Wilson on September 28, 2012, at his home on Cloverhill Rd, Ballyfermot, Dublin 10.

Taking the stand yesterday, witness Leslie Herbert confirmed with Conor Devally, prosecuting, that he was in the passenger seat of John Wilson’s car when a car pulled up in front of them.
