Cases
latest first- Man jailed for manslaughter of Sean McCarthy in Dublin Manslaughter · Co. Dublin
Sean McCarthy, a 28-year-old man and known low-level drug dealer, was found dead with a gunshot wound to the head at an apartment on Achill Road, Drumcondra, Dublin, on 6 August 2022, four days after being reported missing. Dean Caffrey, a 38-year-old man from Drumcondra, was charged with murder on 11 August 2022 after telling gardaí where the body was hidden in his wardrobe. After a ten-week trial at the Central Criminal Court, a jury acquitted Caffrey of murder but convicted him of manslaughter by a 10-to-2 majority in December 2024. In April 2025, Mr Justice Paul McDermott sentenced Caffrey to nine years' imprisonment with the final year suspended.
