Witness testifies against murder accused

A key witness in a Limerick murder trial has told the Central Criminal Court that he saw his then 19-year-old friend shoot dead a young carpenter in 2009.

Christopher Mulqueen told the jury in Kenneth Collopy's murder trial that he was in a Toyota Corolla with the accused man on the evening of December 8, 2009, and that the “car was used in a murder”.
