Nephew guilty of uncle’s murder

A Dublin man who shot his uncle dead in the city will be sentenced to life imprisonment after being found guilty of his murder.

Father-of-one David Cully, aged 24, had admitted killing Edward O’Connor but denied murdering him. The Central Criminal Court heard the 41-year-old died of two gunshot wounds to his back.

The jury of seven women and five men spent more than eight hours over three days deliberating before returning a unanimous verdict of guilty of murder.
