Gardai found the dead body in the boot of the car. After the incident, State Pathologist Marie Cassidy carried out the post mortem at James Connolly Memorial Hospital, Blanchardstown, Dublin. It unveiled some serious injury to the victim’s hand, suggesting torture over drugs.
After murdering David, Stephen fleed the scene. However, law enforcement eventually captured him.
As for the sentence, the Central Criminal Court jury in May 2010 found the killer not guilty of murder but guilty of the manslaughter of David at Park View, Blackcastle. The defendant confessed that he had intentions to steal heroin from David, but things went south, insinuating a struggle that resulted in 13 stabbings.
Justice Carney gave him the sentence of nine years imprisonment.
