Lorcan Staines SC, prosecuting, said in his closing speech that the accused had told “lie after lie” to gardaí about the weapon used and that the lies were so bad they were “borderline laughable”. Ahmed had admitted to unlawfully killing Boylan but said he believed he was acting in self-defence. The jury rejected his claim, accepting the prosecution’s case that Ahmed was the aggressor and did not believe he was using reasonable force to defend himself.Ms Justice Eileen Creedon thanked the jury for their service and remanded Ahmed in custody until a sentencing hearing on 26 July when Boylan’s family will have an opportunity to make a statement to the court.
The trial heard that Ahmed, who is originally from Sudan in North Africa, came to Ireland in the mid 2000′s and settled in Ennis, Co Clare, where he met Susan O’Doherty, got married in 2007 and had three children. Their marriage broke down however and it ended completely in November 2018. The deceased’s mother Catherine Martin gave evidence during the trial, telling Staines that the accused did not look “very happy” when he arrived outside the house on the day of the stabbing. “Although he didn’t show it, I think he was angry,” Martin said.

Man jailed after Kilkenny mobile home fire killingA 35-year-old man has been jailed for 11 years for killing a man by setting fire to his mobile home in Co Kilkenny almost 16 years ago. 196 previous convictions and then for burning a guy to death he gets... 11 years. You suck, Ireland. “The judge said he also took into account Kelly's age when the offence was carried out and his difficult upbringing in which there was a considerable level of drug and alcohol abuse in his family.” There’s always an excuse 🙄 196 convictions & never done any hard time. What a joke of a justice system. That poor man would still be alive if that little c*nt was in a cell where he belonged. You should not be able to rake up multiple convictions without punishment.
