Paul Barry who was due to stand trial for the murder of Toyosi Shittabey died last Sunday. Barry was due to appear in court in relation to the murder of Toyosi Shittabey on Monday.

The Evening Herald which broke the story  mentioned that Barry was close to a 20-year-old nephew of his who had died on Saturday morning which reads like his death was a suicide but that is just speculation.

Shortly after the story of Paul Barrys death broke journalist and Yahoo editor Brian Whelan confirmed via twitter that Barry was not only involved in the similar racist stabbing ten years prior to the Stabbing  of Toyosi Shittabey but had been convicted for it. Mr Whelan had interviewed the family of the victim of the earlier stabbing but could not release the information regarding Paul Barrys conviction for the Pearse street stabbing as it may have given Barry grounds to claim that he could not get a fair trial if the jury knew of a previous conviction for an identical attack.

Paul Barrys brother Michael Barry has still to stand trial for his part in the killing of Toyosi Shittabey.

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.

Herald article.

Some of todays newspaper coverage of the murder of 15 year old Toyosi Shittabey, Its looking like it was  a racist attack from these reports. I imagine I will have a lot to say about this later. I recommend having a look at the goombeennation post on the matter also, the comments are particularly interesting as it seems that this is not the first racist stabbing that the murderer has been involved in.

My condolences to the Shittabey family.
