Cases
latest first- Man sentenced to life for murder at Bray Boxing Club Murder · Co. Wicklow
On 5 June 2018, a gunman fired nine shots at an early morning fitness class at Bray Boxing Club in Bray, Co Wicklow, killing 50-year-old Bobby Messett and injuring boxing coach Pete Taylor, 59, and Ian Britton. Gerard Cervi, a 36-year-old man from East Wall, Dublin 3, was arrested in September 2018 and charged with murder and two counts of attempted murder. His first trial at the Central Criminal Court collapsed in September 2021 after a juror fell ill, and a second trial before Ms Justice Karen O'Connor began in October 2023. A jury convicted Cervi of murder and acquitted him of the attempted murders on 24 November 2023, and he was sentenced to life imprisonment on 1 December 2023.
