Dublin man pleads guilty to killing teenager Daniel McAnaspie
Summary
A 28‑year‑old man from Blanchardstown pleaded guilty to manslaughter for the 2010 killing of 17‑year‑old Daniel McAnaspie at Tolka Valley Park. At the Central Criminal Court, his defence counsel said the client wished to make a fresh plea before the jury. When asked, Noone answered "not guilty to murder, guilty to manslaughter."
