Man jailed for attempted murder faces four more years

A man who is serving a life sentence for attempted murder, has been jailed for four years after he was caught driving a stolen car and head-butting a garda a week after shooting the 49-year-old man.

Darren Larkin (aged 23), of no fixed abode, but who was previously living at Berryfield Drive, Finglas South, was convicted by a Central Criminal Court jury of the attempted murder of Akef Alquasar on February 20, 2006.
