Forensics links murder-accused duo to shotgun, court hears

The DNA of two men on trial for murdering a French musician in Wicklow in 2009, matched DNA found on a shotgun cartridge and clothes recovered by Gardaí in the aftermath of the fatal shooting.

A forensic witness in the case, Dr Linda Williams, told the Central Criminal Court today that DNA matching that of 25-year-old Declan Sheridan, was present on a shotgun cartridge she examined in the days after the killing.
