Firefighters saw skulls and ribcage in burning car

Firefighters giving evidence in a double murder trial have described seeing skulls and a ribcage in a burning car they were hosing more than five years ago.

They were among the first witnesses called yesterday in the Central Criminal Court trial of a man charged with murdering two fellow Dubliners in Co Louth.

Jason O’Driscoll, aged 34, of Richmond Avenue, Fairview, has pleaded not guilty to murdering car thieves Anthony Burnett and Joseph Redmond, who were found shot dead in the burnt car on March 7, 2012.
