latest first- Appeals dismissed in murder of gunman at Blanchardstown restaurant Murder · Co. Dublin
On Christmas Eve 2023, at about 8pm, Tristan Sherry, a 26-year-old Irish man from Finglas, and a second gunman entered Browne's Steakhouse on Main Street, Blanchardstown, Dublin 15, where Jason Hennessy Snr, a 48-year-old Irish man from Corduff, was dining with about 30 family and friends. Sherry shot Hennessy Snr in the neck and upper body before being disarmed and beaten to death by members of the Hennessy group; Hennessy Snr died in hospital on 4 January 2024. Seven people were charged over Sherry's death, including Michael Andrecut, David Amah, Noah Musueni and Wayne Deegan with murder, and Jonas Kabangu, Diarmuid O'Brien and Brandon Hennessy with violent disorder, while Juares Kumbu was charged with possession of a submachine gun. In February 2025, the Special Criminal Court found Andrecut, Amah and Musueni guilty of murder and Kabangu, O'Brien and Brandon Hennessy guilty of violent disorder; Andrecut was sentenced to life imprisonment, Amah and Musueni to nine years each, and the violent disorder convicts to shorter terms. In November 2026, the Court of Appeal dismissed appeals by Andrecut and Brandon Hennessy against their convictions.
