the terrible two's

Liam 'Baby'  Kelly and Robert Crawford convicted of burglary at Newcastlewest Autos.

Baby is the brother of  Aidan Kelly who was shot  dead in 2006.



Baby has been around the block a bit...

In 2007 he was sentenced to three months for failing to stop for the Gardai , he was  shot  at three times, and was involved in a bit of a fracas and accused of shooting Ian Brennan. He went forward for trial in 2008 in relation to the Brennan incident, for possession of a shotgun and attempt to endanger life. It was alleged Baby and Brennan argued over a girl, Baby's girlfriend (Leanne Campbell McNamara) , who was seemingly involved with both of them. Brennan gave evidence to say he was shot in the back and in the stomach by Baby. Not the first time there was an attempt on Brennan's life .

Ian Brennan had been out socialising with his friends Philip Collopy and Brian Scanlon. Brennan said he was 110% certain it was Baby. The jury failed to reach a verdict after three days and in 2009 he was up before the   court  again. Philip Collopy gave evidence stating ' sure I get shot at every week". Collopy, Brennan's friend stated the g unman's face was covered. Baby was acquitted. Collopy  accidentally shot himself a couple of months later.
