Doormen accused of Vietnamese man's murder

A Vietnam war survivor who was kicked and punched in the head by two doormen during an assault in Dublin never regained consciousness and died from head injuries, a murder trial jury at the Central Criminal court heard today.

Luong Ly Minh, aged 50, who moved to Ireland after the Vietnam war to build a new life for himself, was on his way home after a night out in Temple Bar with a Chinese friend when they were suddenly attacked on the street by two men, the jury was told by prosecutor Tom O’ Connell, SC.
