A jury in the Central Criminal Court was sent to a hotel last night after failing to decide whether two Dublin men were guilty of the murder of a man allegedly mistaken for a child molester. Mr Stephen Doyle (24), of Balcurris Road, Ballymun and Mr William Broderick (22), of Cathedral View Walk, both deny the murder of Mr John Murray at a house at Parslickstown Green, Mulhuddart, Co Dublin, on January 15th, 1998. They also deny committing a violent disorder on the same date.

Mr Justice McCracken told the jury to return this morning to continue deliberations.
