O’Donoghue may not give evidence at murder trial

IT appears that Wayne O’Donoghue will not give evidence in the case where he is accused of murdering 11-year-old Robert Holohan.

One defence witness was called yesterday in the trial. After that, Blaise O’Carroll, senior counsel, said: “Essentially that is the evidence from the defence.”

He did not formally close the defence case, however, and said one matter had arisen that would take no more than a few minutes to resolve when the jury returns on Tuesday.
