A man has been convicted by the Republic's Special Criminal Court of murdering the Co Tyrone-born manager of a Dublin pub.
Liverpool native David Hunter (41) had denied the murder of 35-year-old Michael Barr at the Sunset House bar in Dublin's north inner city in April 2016.
In an attack linked to the Hutch-Kinahan feud, the dissident republican from Strabane was shot seven times when two armed men wearing boiler suits and rubber masks entered at around 9pm.
During a five-week trial, the three-judge court - sitting without a jury - heard that the getaway car, a silver Audi A6, arrived at Walsh Road in Drumcondra at 9.20pm and three men got out and set it alight.
When gardaí arrived and extinguished the fire they discovered four guns including the murder weapon, boiler suits, ski masks and rubber masks.
The court heard that DNA profiles from masks matched samples from an apple core and cigarette butt discarded by Hunter during his extradition from the UK.
Hunter, with an address at Du Cane Road, White City, London, told gardaí the ski mask was his but he had dropped it in a car driven by another man when he visited Ireland two months earlier on a car-stealing exercise.
He claimed he had returned to see a UB40 concert and was with two women in a Dublin hotel around the time of the shooting.
However, Mr Justice Alexander Owens said the circumstantial evidence "pointed inextricably" to Hunter being one of the gunmen.
He is the second man to be found guilty of murdering Mr Barr after Eamonn Cumberton (32), of Mountjoy Street, Dublin, was convicted in January 2018.
The judge will hand down the mandatory sentence of life imprisonment on November 2 and remanded Hunter in custody.
Speaking after the verdict, Mr Barr's father Colin said it was a "good day for us as a family" and that the conviction gives them "some satisfaction".
He told RTE: "He was found guilty for all his lies.
"He came here from Liverpool to kill someone and skip back to Spain.
"Michael's son is here, his heart is broken.
"These boys need to know there are consequences for life, that they will have to pay a price."
