Irish man cleared of US murder
An Irish man accused of killing a passenger on a party boat by throwing him into the San Francisco Bay has been found not guilty of murder charges, but a jury deadlocked on one charge each of voluntary and involuntary manslaughter.
William Monaghan was accused of throwing a Swiss computer animator, Lionel Voillat, over the side of a party boat in October after an argument over Mr Voillat’s girlfriend.
