• Gerard Cervi convicted of murder at Bray Boxing Club Murder · Co. Wicklow

  Gerard Cervi, 36, was found guilty by a Central Criminal Court jury on 24 November 2023 of murdering Robert 'Bobby' Messett, a 50-year-old father of three, during a shooting at an early morning class at Bray Boxing Club in County Wicklow. Nine shots were fired into the crowded gym, and Messett died from a single gunshot wound to the head. Cervi, who had been in custody for over five years and had no previous convictions, was acquitted of attempting to murder coach Pete Taylor and Ian Britton during the same attack. The jury of six men and six women reached its unanimous verdict after seven hours and 59 minutes of deliberation over three days, following two trials that lasted a combined 17 weeks over a two-year period.
