Murder accused used knife to cut fruit and not for protection, delivery rider tells court

The Central Criminal Court in Dublin City Image: Alamy Stock Photo The Central Criminal Court in Dublin City Image: Alamy Stock Photo A FOOD DELIVERY rider accused of stabbing schoolboy Josh Dunne to death used a utility knife to cut fruit and did not carry it for protection, a fellow delivery cyclist has told the Central Criminal Court.

The prosecution alleges that Mr Bento produced a knife during a “stand-off or confrontation” with a man on a moped who had stolen another delivery cyclist’s bike. Josh Dunne and other youths arrived at the scene and got involved in the confrontation. The witness said he worked as a food delivery cyclist and had his account with UberEats. He said Mr Bento helped him to buy his bicycle and that he mainly worked from McDonald’s in East Wall.The witness said he was previously attacked by two or three people close to the Ha’penny Bridge and they kicked the battery on his bicycle. “They tried to kick me but instead of reaching my body it reached the battery of my bicycle. I can’t tell if they were trying to rob me or attack me,” he explained.

Mr Guerin put it to the witness that he understood the knife Mr Bento carried was not for protection and that he [the witness] could not remember what the knife looked like. “I wasn’t able to describe it to gardai,” he replied. Earlier, Jason Gunning told Mr Guerin that he worked for Lidl and was contacted by the manager last year regarding a particular knife. He said he was provided with an image of the utility knife and had checked the internal product database where he was able to match the image.
