THE SPECIAL CRIMINAL Court has jailed Dublin man Lee Canavan for life for his role in the murder of David ‘Daithí’ Douglas.
Douglas was “executed” outside a shoe shop in the Liberties area of Dublin some five years ago.
In passing judgement last month, the three-judge court ruled that Canavan (32) was part of a joint enterprise or shared intention to murder Mr Douglas in what was described as a “meticulously planned execution”.
