Alison O'RiordanA jury has begun deliberating in the trial of a 36-year-old man accused of murdering an early morning gym-goer and the attempted murder of well-known coach Pete Taylor and another man at Bray Boxing Club. In his closing speech last week, Paul Murray SC for the Director of Public Prosecutions took the jury through CCTV footage that he said showed Mr Cervi travelling from his home to Bray Boxing Club and back home on the morning of the shooting. Mr Cervi (36), from the East Wall area in Dublin 3, has pleaded not guilty to murdering Robert ‘Bobby’ Messett at Bray Boxing Club, Bray Harbour, Co Wicklow on June 5th, 2018. Mr Cervi also pleaded not guilty to the attempted murders of Mr Taylor and Ian Britton on the same date and at the same location. Mr Taylor and Mr Britton were injured while Mr Messett died immediately at the scene.
