The partner of a man who assisted in the murder of his friend has been given an 18 month suspended prison sentence for providing her partner with a false alibi.
Lacey O'Connor, 30, told gardai investigating the fatal shooting of Wayne Whelan, 42, on November 18 2019 that her partner, Anthony Casserly, was with her at the time of the murder.
Casserly was convicted last January of assisting in the execution of Whelan inviting him out to watch an Ireland soccer match, “luring” him to his death.
