Teen murder accused anguished during interview, trial hears

Summary

The murder trial of Paul Bradley, 54, and his sons Jason, Dean, and Ryan, has heard evidence regarding the alleged killing of Neil Reilly, 36, at Esker Glebe in Lucan, Dublin, on January 18, 2017. All four defendants have pleaded not guilty to the charge. Prosecution counsel Paul Murray SC presented testimony from Detective Sergeant Gordon Woulfe, who described Ryan Bradley, then 17, as pale and showing signs of anguish during a police interview hours after the incident. The prosecution alleges the family chased a shooter who had fired two shots at their home, resulting in Reilly's death. Dean Bradley testified to hearing gunshots and driving with Ryan, while Ryan stated he was shaking and did not know who shot at the house. Garda Rachel O'Malley identified Reilly's fingerprint in a Mazda car found near the scene. Mr Justice Paul Coffey directed the jury to return on Tuesday to address a legal issue in their absence, meaning the matter was adjourned.
