Eleven years on from when the bodies of two missing Dublin men were found bound and buried in a shallow grave on a lake island in the Midlands, the only person to face trial over their deaths — Ruth Lawrence — has been found guilty of their murders.
The Central Criminal Court jury by a majority verdict of 11-1 agreed with the prosecution case that 46-year-old Lawrence shot and worked "as a unit" with her boyfriend, South African national Neville van der Westhuizen, to murder 32-year-old drug dealer Eoin O'Connor after they had lured him to their home.
