The Special Criminal Court has found Dublin man Lee Canavan guilty of the murder of David âDaithÃâ Douglas, who was âexecutedâ at a Dublin city shoe shop five years ago.
The non-jury court, however, did not agree with the Stateâs contention that Canavan was âthe person who literally pulled the triggerâ, owing to a lack of evidence.
In passing judgement on Thursday, the court ruled that Canavan (31) was part of a joint enterprise or shared intention to murder Mr Douglas in what was described as a âmeticulously planned executionâ.
Canavan, with an address at Edenbrook, Rathfarnham, Dublin 14, had pleaded not guilty to murdering Mr Douglas (55), who was shot six times - sustaining injuries to his chest, neck, back, torso, elbow and jaw - at Shoestown, Bridgefoot Street, Dublin 8, on July 1st, 2016.
