Jury In Bray Boxing Club Murder Trial Hears Man Who Was Killed At Early Morning Training Session Was Shot Once In Head
Gerard Cervi, from East Wall in Dublin, is accused of being the lone gunman who opened fire that day, killing Bobby Messett and injuring two others
Courts Correspondent Frank Greaney reports for RedFM News:
"The former State Pathologist, Dr Mary Cassidy, didn't attend the scene of the shooting at a boxing club, but she was the one who carried out the post-mortem on Bobby Messett afterwards. He was shot dead on June 5, 2018 when a gunman whom the prosecution claims was Jared Cervi, entered the gym dressed as a builder and opened fire. Dr Cassidy said she found a single gunshot wound to his head. She said he died at the scene, and she said his death would have been rapid. Mr Cervi denies his murder and has also pleaded not guilty to the attempted murders of boxing coach Pete Taylor, and another gym goer called Ian Britain. Frank Greaney, the Central Criminal Court."
