Biker ‘shot rival dead in Limerick turf war’

A biker shot a member of a rival motorcycle club dead over a territorial dispute in Limerick, a prosecuting barrister told a murder trial jury yesterday.

Alan McNamara, aged 50, of Mountfune, Murroe, Co Limerick, has pleaded not guilty to murdering Andrew O’Donoghue, 51, in Murroe, Co Limerick, on June 20, 2015.

His stepson, Robert Cusack, aged 28, is charged with impeding Mr McNamara’s apprehension knowing or believing him to have committed a serious offence. Mr Cusack has also pleaded not guilty and both men are being tried together at the Central Criminal Court.
