Det Gda McWeeney said the suspicion of passing gardaí was “aroused” and the car was stopped. They noticed a smell of cannabis and searched the car, discovering a small amount of cannabis on Murray, for which he has not been charged.
Gardaí also discovered a rucksack on the floor of the taxi which contained a Glock 9mm handgun and 12rounds of 9mm ammunition. The gun was found to be in good working condition and the serial number had been filed off.
When asked about the gun by gardaí, Murray responded “it is what it is?”. Later while in garda custody he remarked “sure it wasn t even loaded was it?”.
A MAN who was caught carrying a handgun with the serial number filed off has been jailed for four-and-a-half years.
Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard that a detective believed Jordan Murray (23) had sourced the gun for “revenge” after being assaulted five weeks earlier.
Passing sentencing today, Judge Martin Nolan said he could not act on the view of the detective. He said that the detective might be right in his “conjecture”, but the court cannot rely on “conjecture”.
