The scene inside the Mobiles Junction internet café on the evening of April 16 last year was as complex as it was harrowing.
Up to 11 different people had been inside the small shop on busy London Road, when a pack of killers cornered terrified Michael Toohey and kicked him to death. As one detective explained, failing to identify every individual could allow the killers to pin everything on the mystery man, so investigators had a formidable but vital task.
Eventually, drug-dealer Keiron Williams, his two brothers Michael and Anthony Williams and their friend Steven McInerney were all convicted of Michael's murder. A 14-year-old boy, who did not participate in beating Michael but acted as a "lookout" and called the killers to the scene, was also convicted of murder on a joint enterprise basis.
