Gunman fired five shots at victim, inquest hears

Karl Wynne, 45, of Russell Avenue, Tallaght, Dublin 24, died on July 19, 2013, two months after he was shot. He sustained gunshot wounds to the head, neck and abdomen after he was shot by a pillion passenger on a motorbike. The gunman dismounted the motorbike and stood over the man lying on the footpath to fire two more shots from a semi-automatic pistol, Dublin Coroner’s Court heard.
Mr Wynne, a father of one, had left his partner Lorraine Lynch and their son to meet someone on May 30, 2013. Ms Lynch, who broke down in tears as she entered the witness box, said he talked on the phone with someone she felt he knew before leaving.
