Brothers convicted over attack on uncle

A jury has convicted two brothers of causing their uncle serious harm in an alcohol-fuelled row at his home almost four years ago.

After deliberating for over three hours at the Circuit Criminal Court, in Tralee, Co Kerry, the jury returned a unanimous guilty verdict.

Robert Kelly, aged 32, of Ogham Rian, Tralee, and Tommy Kelly, aged 34, of Marian Park, Tralee, had denied causing serious harm to Gerald Fitzgerald, aged 49, at 38 Mitchels Rd, Tralee, on November 8, 2011.
