Dublin man jailed for 8 years for killing after ‘duel’

A Dublin man was jailed for eight years yesterday for killing a man following what was described as a “duel” at Christmas time two years ago.

Wayne Kennedy, aged 34, with an address at Rathsallagh Park in Shankill, Co Dublin, was charged with murdering David Spain, aged 26, on December 26, 2013, at this address, as well as intentionally or recklessly causing serious harm to Sean Turner on the same date.

Last July, Mr Kennedy pleaded not guilty at the Central Criminal Court to both counts.
