‘Don’t tell me he’s dead,’ man told gardaí

One of seven Dubliners on trial, charged with murder, begged gardaí not to tell him that the man he had kicked had died.

The jury in the Central Criminal Court trial was yesterday hearing evidence of garda interviews conducted with one of the accused, Ross Callery.

Dale Creighton was assaulted on New Year’s morning 2014 at the footbridge over the Tallaght bypass. The 20-year-old died in hospital the following day.
