A jury at the trial of a Dublin man accused of murder has been sent home for a third night. The six men and six women have so far been deliberating for eight hours.
Brian Rattigan (28), Cooley Rd, Drimnagh, Dublin, has pleaded not guilty to the murder of Declan Gavin (20), Mourne Rd, Drimnagh, at Crumlin Rd, Crumlin on August 25th 2001.
It is the prosecution’s case that Mr Rattigan got out of a Nissan Micra that had pulled up outside the Abrakebabra fast-food outlet at Crumlin Shopping Centre before he stabbed Mr Gavin in a “targeted attack”.
The jury will resume its deliberations tomorrow morning.
