Connor Rafferty was found not guilty of the murder of Mr Druzinec's friend, while two other men were convicted for beating the victim to death on a Dublin street. Rafferty, a 21-year-old apprentice electrician cleared of murder, received a wholly suspended sentence for assaulting a man during the same incident. The conviction related to his involvement in an assault while two others carried out the fatal beating. Ms Justice Mary Ellen Ring warned Rafferty that breaching the suspension terms or committing further offences would result in serving four years in prison. The suspended sentence remains conditional on lawful behaviour.
