The jury has retired to consider a verdict in the case of 54-year-old army sergeant John Crerar, who denies the murder of Kildare woman, Phyllis Murphy, almost 23 years ago.

Two former co-workers of murder accused John Crerar told his trial that they saw him washing out the boot of his car with boiling water days after the disappearance of Kildare woman, Phyllis Murphy, over 22 years ago.
