The Special Criminal Court is due to deliver its verdict in the trial of John Dundon who’s accused of murdering Garryown rugby player Shane Geoghegan.
Mr Geoghegan – who worked in Aer Atlanta in Shannon was shot dead in November 2008- 31 year old John Dundon of Hyde Road, Limerick, denies any involvement.
Shane Geoghegan was gunned down in a case of mistaken identity on his way home to his girlfriend in the Clonmore Estate at around 1 in the morning.
The 28 year old was shot in the head and body.
The court’s heard the intended target was his neighbour John McNamara.
The prosecution’s case relies on 3 key witnesses including April Collins who is a former girlfriend of John Dundon’s brother Gerard.
She says she was there when John Dundon ordered Johnny Mac’s killing and that he went into a panic when he found out the wrong man had been shot.
The defence has asked the non-jury court to consider whether Ms Collins had not done a deal with gardaí as she herself was facing a criminal charge.
The court will hand down its verdict today.
