Funeral murder victim shouted 'I'm shot', court hears

A cousin of a traveller shot in the back at a family funeral in Sligo 1999 has said the deceased man shouted "I’m shot, I’m shot" before collapsing into the drivers seat of a moving car.

Mr John Ward said he saw Mr Patrick "Deuce" Ward "run along" the side of the car in which the witness was travelling in an attempt to escape from gunmen at the graveyard. The deceased, he said, was pointing to his back.
