A FOURTH man has been charged over the murder of a pub manager who was shot dead at a bar in Dublin four years ago.
Christopher Slater (36) appeared in Dublin District Court accused of killing father-of-five Michael Barr in the Sunset House in the north inner city.
He was remanded in custody to next week.
Mr Slater, with an address at Carnlough Road in Cabra, is charged with murdering Mr Barr at the pub on Summerhill Parade, Dublin 1 on April 25, 2016.
He was standing at the counter when two men wearing masks entered and one of them shot him seven times. At the time, Mr Barr (35), from Co Tyrone, was the seventh victim of the Hutch-Kinahan feud.
Opened each listening cell,
Each from his separate Hell.
Oscar Wilde, The Ballad of Reading Gaol.
Prisoner number 74326 will have plenty of time over the Christmas and beyond in his listening cell in Portlaoise Gaol to rue the mistakes he made in the USA in 2015 and 2016. He was to all intents and purposes clean away after committing one of the most shocking crimes in the history of the state.
The prisoner’s fondness for drink however, and its ability to ‘loosen the tongue’ led to his arrest, extradition, conviction and a life sentence in circumstances that Oscar Wilde described as his separate Hell more than a century ago.
