Murder trial of Dublin man continues

The judge at the trial of a Dublin man accused of murder has been listening to legal argument in the absence of the jury.

Bryan Ryan (aged 24), an unemployed man originally from Sheepmore Crescent in Blanchardstown has pleaded not guilty to the murder Ian Tobin at Fortlawn Park, Blanchardstown on May 27, 2007.

Twenty-five-year-old father of two Mr Tobin died after he was shot through a door in what the prosecution say was an attack intended for his brother, Blake.

It is the prosecution’s case that, as a result of an ongoing feud, Mr Ryan drove a motorbike with another man, Michael Murray, who was carrying a gun, and that Mr Murray shot Ian Tobin in the neck.

There will be another day of legal argument tomorrow and the jury are expected to return on Friday morning.
