Lee Canavan guilty of murdering David 'DaithÃ' Douglas
Stage: Sentence
Outcome: Gareth Brophy (26) was jailed in February 2020 for ten years also by the Special Criminal Court for his role as getaway driver. At the trial, Sean Gillane SC, prosecuting, stressed that the actions of Canavan could not be "divorced" from the actions of Thompson, Brophy and Foley, who have all been jailed in connection with the murder Mr Gillane said that there was "overwhelming evidence" in the case and the only rational conclusion to be drawn was that Mr Douglas' murder had been "meticulously planned".
