A takeaway delivery driver who claimed that "shooting people was part of his job" has been sentenced to life in prison this evening for the murder of a teenage customer on his own doorstep.
The court heard during today's sentence hearing that Earl McKevitt told gardai that he shot 19-year-old Conor O'Brien once in the chest after making an error during the delivery, having failed to read the instructions on the docket.
His defence counsel told the Central Criminal Court that McKevitt had displayed very strange behaviour with bizarre thinking but psychiatric evidence meant he could not rely on a defence of mental illness.
