'Lack of evidence' in postmaster shooting trial

A jury hearing the trial of a Chinese national who killed a Kilkenny postmaster following a robbery, has been told there is an absence of evidence to prove he deliberately pointed and fired the gun which killed the man.

Shu Shen, formerly of The Old Rectory, New Ross, Co Wexford admits the manslaughter of Alan Cunniffe, aged 32, on December 8, 2006, but he denies his murder.
