A Dublin man has been found guilty of murdering a dad-of-one by shooting him three times while he pushed his four-month-old son in a pram in broad daylight.
The jury of seven men and four women took just over three hours to find that Wayne Cooney was the cyclist who circled Jordan Davis for three days like a "shark moving towards its prey" before firing eight shots at him from a 9mm pistol. Mr Davis suffered three gunshot wounds including one to the head that killed him instantly.
Following the jury verdict Mr Justice Tony Hunt remanded Cooney, 31, in custody ahead of a hearing next Friday morning in which members of the victim's family will be invited to speak before Cooney is jailed for life. Mr Justice Hunt thanked the jurors for their hard work in a "distressing" trial and he described the recklessness of Cooney in firing eight times while Mr Davis pushed his son in a pram as "astonishing".
