Five-year sentence for man who threatened to kill garda

A Dublin criminal who was jailed recently for a conspiracy to steal €855,000 from a cash-in-transit van has received another five-year sentence with one suspended for threatening to kill a garda.

Jeffrey Morrow (aged 27) claimed he had followed Garda Emmet Byrne home one evening in a stolen car while on drugs and had intended to ram the garda’s vehicle, burning him inside.
