The man accused of murdering Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe could be found guilty of manslaughter if the jury finds that he killed the garda but only intended to fire a warning shot, the Central Criminal Court has heard.

Aaron Brady's barrister Michael O'Higgins SC told the jury that his client did not shoot Det Gda Donohoe and was not involved in the robbery that led to his death.
