Tattoo artist found guilty of murder of chef in Cobh

Dylan Scannell has been found guilty of murdering Ian Baitson by attacking him with a sword, causing severe injuries that led to Baitson's death in hospital four days later.
Jurors took just over four hours to reach a unanimous verdict after a week-long trial, confirming the severity of the attack and its consequences on Baitson's health.
Scannell, 31 years old, will receive a mandatory life sentence on July 11, 2025, after admitting to a drug debt dispute with Baitson, which preceded the assault.
The jury heard that Scannell had sent threatening texts to Baitson related to a drug debt before the attack.
