Aaron Brady denied any involvement, claiming he was laundering diesel at the time of the shooting on a wet night in January 2013.

He fled to the US afterwards, but was eventually brought back to Ireland, and following the longest trial in the history of the State, he was found guilty, of not only taking part in the robbery, but also of the capital murder of Detective Donohoe.

His sentence hearing is due to take place this morning.
