Toyosi killers charged with murder.
Thursday, September 23rd, 2010Paul 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.
