Rachel Redmond was jailed for four years after a jury convicted her of attempting to impede Wayne Cooney’s apprehension or prosecution, knowing or believing he had committed murder. The prosecution case was that she drove Cooney from the scene of Jordan Davis’s killing and paid for him to stay at a hotel near Dublin Airport.

At sentencing, the judge said Redmond had chosen to assist Cooney and help him avoid capture when important forensic evidence might have been gathered. He set a five-year sentence on each count, to run concurrently, and suspended the final year for three years.
