Jury sees CCTV footage of man being shot 18 times

A jury has seen CCTV footage of the moment a man was shot 18 times with a sub-machine gun in the car park of a pigeon racing club.

The jury in the trial of Christopher McDonald viewed footage that gardaí say shows 36-year-old Keith Walker suffering the gunshot wounds that killed him.

Mr McDonald, aged 34, from the East Wall area of Dublin, has pleaded not guilty to Mr Walker’s murder on June 12, 2015, in the car park of the Blanchardstown Pigeon Racing Club on Shelerin Road, Clonsilla. The trial has previously heard from State Pathologist Professor Marie Cassidy that the deceased suffered 18 bullet wounds to the head and body.
