Court hears from eyewitnesses to Veronica Guerin murder

A number of eyewitnesses have told the Special Criminal Court they saw a gunman fire six shots from a long double-barrelled handgun into Veronica Guerin's car on the day of her murder. Today was the second day of the trial of 33-year-old Brian Meehan, of Stannaway Road in Kimmage. He denies murdering the journalist three years ago.

Two nurses also told the court how they tried in vain to help Ms Guerin just after she was shot. The State claims that Meehan was the driver of the motorcycle carrying the killer on the day Ms Guerin was shot.
