Toyosi killers charged with murder.

Posted by on September 23, 2010

Paul Barry and Michael Barry who had previously been charged  with manslaughter following the stabbing to death of 15 year old Toyosi Shitta-Bey in Tyrellstown last good Friday have been charged with murder. Scumbag Michael Barry is reported to have said “absolute rubbish” to the charges.

The charge of manslaughter against Paul Barry has been struck out while his brother Michael is facing both manslaughter and murder charges.  Given the difficulty in getting a murder conviction here in Ireland I would hold the dropping of the manslaughter charge as a as a significant indicator of both the weight of evidence against  Paul Barry and the nature of the incident.

The DPP has not yet  brought any charges against the Barry brother’s relating to any racist element  of the killing.

Paul and Michael Barry are being held in custody and will be back in court in next Tuesday.
