Conor Dolan, with an address at Ashbrook Apartments, Navan Road, Dublin 7, pleaded guilty in July, to murdering Neil Fitzgerald (36) at Hills Lane, Crooksling, Tallaght, Dublin 24 on June 5, 2016
A 33-year-old man was paid €10k to murder his friend, who was "lured" to a country lane and "riddled" with bullets in an "execution-style killing", the Central Criminal Court heard this morning as it jailed him for life.Dolan pleaded guilty two days after a second jury had to be empanelled because a prison officer stood too close to the defendant in view of jurors during his first trial, which his defence team argued could have had a prejudicial effect.
Today, Mr Staines said Mr Fitzgerald's body was found on a quiet country lane where south Dublin turns into countryside on the route south from Tallaght towards Blessington in Co Wicklow. He was, Mr Staines said, "riddled with bullets" having been shot six times in an "execution-style killing". Mr Staines said that after Dolan had taken cocaine he had confided in his ex-girlfriend, the mother of his child, that he carried out the murder for €20k but had only been paid €10k.
