Detective Garda Colm Horkan, who was killed in Roscommon. Image: Garda Press GARDA COLM HORKAN, who was shot dead two years ago, helped to have the man accused of his murder admitted to a psychiatric unit in 2003, the Central Criminal Court has heard.
O’Connor said he attended the scene with a local doctor and two other gardaí, one of whom was Garda Horkan. Silver was asked about that incident when being interviewed by gardaí following the shooting of Garda Horkan. He said he did not remember it. The jury also watched video footage today of Silver’s fifth and final interview at Castlerea Garda Station, one day after the shooting.
The inspector added: “All other acts of aggression in that struggle were from you. You said you punched him with your fists, that you hit him with the butt of the gun.” “Why is it, why are we having a State funeral for Colm Horkan when he should be at home with his family, and you should be home with your family, but you’re not, you’re here as a result of your actions and Colm Horkan is dead because of your actions, not his actions.” Silver did not respond.
