A LIMERICK man who denies murdering a 23-year-old man at a nightclub in Shannon four years ago has told a court that he is guilty of manslaughter.
Nathan O’Neill of Hill Top Drive, Dooradoyle was arraigned at the Central Criminal Court in Cork on Monday on a charge of murdering Jamie Higgins at the Shannon Knights nightclub at Tullyvarraga, Shannon on March 18, 2018.
When asked how he pleaded to the charge, he replied: “Not guilty of murder but guilty of manslaughter.”
He entered a guilty plea to a second charge that, on the same occasion, he intentionally or recklessly caused serious harm to Michael Shannon.
