‘Gunman came out of nowhere’

A man who shot his uncle dead after a fist fight between two other people initially told gardaí that a gunman had come “out of nowhere” and shot him.

A jury at the Central Criminal Court heard the evidence yesterday in the trial of David Cully, 24, who has admitted killing his uncle, Edward O’Connor, by shooting him in his back.

The father of one from Kilshane Rd, Finglas West, has pleaded not guilty to murdering his 41-year-old uncle, but guilty to his manslaughter at Ballycoolin Rd, Finglas West, on December 15, 2013.
