A witness giving evidence in the trial of a 29-year-old accused of murdering a man in Dublin has denied being involved in the killing.
Kevin Whelan (28), who is in the Witness Protection Programme, denied under cross-examination by the defence being involved in the killing of Ian Tobin (25) six years ago.
Bryan Ryan of Ard Caher, Louisburgh, Co Mayo has pleaded not guilty to murdering Tobin at Fortlawn Park, Blanchardstown, on May 27, 2007.
The Central Criminal Court has heard Tobin was shot through a door in a house in Blanchardstown but his brother Blake was the intended victim.
