A waste disposal company, its director and a truck driver contracted to the company have had their sentence adjourned at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on charges of illegal dumping at sites in Wicklow.

A Dublin man accused of murdering another man by shooting him at close range in the back of the head denied carrying out the killing and told gardaí his sole purpose in the crime was to take away the gun.

A nurse accused of poisoning two elderly patients told gardaí she bleeped a doctor and got permission to give one of them an intra muscular injection of a drug called Serenase.
