One-time senior Kinahan cartel member Declan 'Mr Nobody' Brady has been further sentenced to a nine-year prison term for facilitating the "depraved" murder of Christopher (aka Noel) Kirwan, an innocent man who was shot dead after he was pictured attending the funeral of a Hutch family member, despite having no connection to either side in the notorious gangland feud.

At the Special Criminal Court on Monday, Mr Justice Tony Hunt said Brady was involved in attaching a tracker device to Mr Kirwan's car, which assisted the Kinahan crime organisation in carrying out the "callous" murder in December 2016.
