DNA evidence links murder accused to victim

The trial of two Dublin men accused of murdering a man heard that a sample taken from the floor mat of a taxi the accused rode in after the killing matched the dead man's DNA, a jury at the Central Criminal Court heard today.

Alan Keogh (aged 32), of Wellmount Green, Finglas, Dublin, and Gary McNevin (aged 31), of no fixed abode, have pleaded not guilty to the murder of Peter Mitchell (aged 32), of Monasterboice Road, Crumlin, Dublin, at Monasterboice Road between and inclusive of October 17-20, 2003.
