Cases
latest first- Supreme Court dismisses appeal in Limerick pub murder Murder · Co. Limerick
Mark Crawford, 47, formerly of Quarry Road, Thomondgate, Co Limerick, stabbed Patrick 'Pa' O'Connor, 24, six times, piercing his heart and neck, at Fitzgerald's Bar on Sexton Street in Limerick city on July 7th or 8th, 2018, after the two men had met for the first time the previous day and were taking cocaine together. The prosecution argued the attack followed a row over payment for cocaine. Crawford pleaded not guilty, claiming self-defence, but a unanimous jury at the Central Criminal Court convicted him of murder in September 2020 and he was sentenced to mandatory life imprisonment on 2 October 2020. His appeal was dismissed by the Court of Appeal in March 2023, and the Supreme Court dismissed his further appeal in October 2024.
