Photograph: Stephen Collins/Collinslast year used a dustpan and brush to strike down in the direction of the gunman while he lay on the ground after being disarmed, the Special Criminal Court has heard.
The court has heard that Jason Hennessy snr and a group of about 30 people had gathered in Browne’s for a party when Mr Sherry and a second gunman arrived. Mr Sherry scuffled with Hennessy and shot him, with his wounds later proving fatal, before he was disarmed and beaten to death.
The witness said Mr O’Brien appeared to strike in the direction of Mr Sherry, and then tried to leave through a fire door but was unable to do so due to a latch being closed. He left through the restaurant, stopping at one point to comfort a young woman, before picking up a small child who he carried out to the car park.
The accused and other members of the group placed Jason Hennessy snr into a car and drove away, Det Gda Sloan said.
