Pair to be sentenced for their roles in dissident Republican murder

Two men are to be sentenced for their roles in the murder of dissident Republican Peter Butterly, who was shot dead in a Meath car park six years ago in view of students waiting for their school bus.

Frank Murphy (aged 58), of McDonagh Caravan Park, Triton Road, Bettystown, Co Meath, pleaded guilty in November 2018 to committing an act to impede the apprehension or prosecution of David Cullen, knowing or believing him to be guilty of possession of a firearm in suspicious circumstances within the State on March 6, 2013.
