Youth claims murder victim had threatened him with INLA

An 18-year-old on trial for murder told Gardaí the neighbour he is accused of shooting dead had threatened to “put him in a wheelchair” and said he had paid the INLA who would come knocking on his door.

Conor Duffy, who denies murdering Aidan O'Kane (aged 50), in December 2008 in East Wall, Dublin said he shot the father-of-one in panic, believing Mr O'Kane was armed with a gun after he had chased him wearing a balaclava. Duffy was 16 at the time.
