Philip Dunbar was found guilty of murder at the Central Criminal Court on 2 November 2020, after stabbing Adam Muldoon 183 times in Butler Park, Tallaght.

The jury rejected Dunbar’s defence that intoxication prevented him forming the intention required for murder, returning a unanimous verdict after just under three hours.

Dunbar will be sentenced to the mandatory term of life imprisonment on a later date, when Mr Muldoon’s family is due to make a statement to the court.
