A man who threatened two detectives executing a search warrant at his house that they would meet the same fate as a murdered garda colleague has been jailed for three years.

Jason O'Connor (41) made the threats as his home was searched as part of an investigation into an earlier assault at a pub. The door to his home had been breached by the Emergency Response Unit before local gardaí entered to execute the search.
