A jury took just under seven hours to return a 10-2 guilty verdict last Friday
A man has been jailed for life for the murder of a 24 year-old father to be who was "ecstatic" at the prospect of welcoming a baby with his partner prior to being stabbed to death in Mallow, Co Cork in 2018.
Inspector Hugh Twomey gave an outline of the case. Inspector Twomey said that an altercation occurred between Conor Quinn and Tyler Jackson on July 12, 2018 on Bridge Street in Mallow. He stated that Mr Quinn was stabbed by Tyler Jackson. “He cherished every moment of his life. He was the one who made us laugh no matter what. He was the dancer at the party, the storyteller in the room. The rascal who started the prank.
“But it will ache me for eternity when my little grandson, often asks me, ‘Nanny I wish my Daddy was here to play with me and give me a cuddle. Why did he have to go to heaven? What happened to my Daddy?’ Ms Quinn also thanked the family liaison officer Garda Marie McCarthy, gardai, the courts and the DPP for their “relentless hard work” in relation to the case.
“At 8.38pm the deceased and his party were stopped in traffic on Bridge Street. The deceased was in the front seat of the car. Conor Quinn spotted Tyler Jackson across the road. "By coincidence there was an ambulance also stopped in traffic. They went to the ambulance. He collapsed, never regained consciousness and died.”The trial heard evidence from Samantha Quinn who is a cousin of the deceased. She said that Tyler stabbed her cousin in the chest.
Prosecuting barrister, Ray Boland, SC said there was a witness who saw Mr Jackson leaving the scene after the fatal stabbing and that he was carrying a kitchen knife.
