The father of feud victim Michael Barr has slammed an upcoming appeal by his killer - as he says his son didn’t get a second chance.
The Star has learned that Kinahan cartel killer David Hunter is appealing his conviction for the feud murder of Michael Barr at the Sunset House pub in Dublin’s North Inner City on the night of April 25, 2016.
British car thief Hunter (43), who was one of the two gunmen who entered the pub on the night of Barr’s murder, is due to have his latest appeal hearing heard in October.

And speaking exclusively to The Star, Colin Barr, the father of the victim, said Hunter’s paymasters at the top of the Kinahan cartel acted like judge and jury when they murdered his son - and he doesn’t get that second chance.
“No trial, no appeal. Just the three-man court of the Kinahans.
“It’s a pity him (Hunter) and his paymasters didn’t give their victims time to appeal the sentence they were given by the ‘Kinahan high court’ in Dubai,” he said.
Mr Barr recently saw further justice for his son when convicted drug dealer Christopher Slator became the fourth person to be convicted over the murder last week.
Slator was nailed after gardai uncovered his DNA on a mask and runner inside the getaway car which was found on fire a short distance from the murder scene.
Similarly his pal Eamon Cumberton was also nailed by a DNA profile on a separate similar mask and baseball cap - with this evidence securing his life sentence in prison.
