A killer turned to his teenage co-defendant and shouted "he done it and he knows he did it" as he gave evidence to a murder trial this afternoon.
Joseph Byrne is currently standing trial accused of murdering Christopher Molloy alongside his older brother Jay Byrne and a 14-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons. He punched the 55-year-old victim to the ground near to Bootle Strand in the early hours of July 12 last year, causing him to fall backwards and hit his head.
The youth then repeatedly slapped the unconscious security guard before he and Joseph Byrne walked away from the scene and fist bumped. But the boy and Jay Byrne then returned to stricken Mr Molloy and kicked him in the head.
