Murdered man’s brother jailed for contempt of court

The brother of a man murdered eight years ago was sentenced to two weeks in prison for contempt of court during an eviction hearing at the Circuit Court in Trim.

Paul ‘Cotty’ Coddington, aged 45, from Drogheda, whose brother Roy was shot dead on Mornington beach in Co Meath in 2007, has been heavily involved in advising distressed mortgage holders.

He was taken from the body of the courtroom last Thursday by officers of the court after he was allegedly spotted taping proceedings.
