Jury hears closing speeches in ‘brutal’ murder trial

Lawyers for the State have told a murder trial jury it is “inescapable” that the accused participated in the death of a man in Dublin more than two years ago.

Keith O’Neill, aged 39, of Lissadell Drive, Drimnagh, Dublin, has pleaded not guilty to murdering John Wilson, aged 35, on September 28, 2012, at his home on Cloverhill Rd, Ballyfermot.

In his closing speech, Conor Devally, prosecuting, described the shooting as a “brutal event”.
