O’Donoghue ‘aggressive with gardaí’

WAYNE O’DONOGHUE became aggressive with gardaí because of delays in the search for schoolboy Robert Holohan.

Yesterday, at the Central Criminal Court, the prosecution pieced together the words and actions of Wayne O’Donoghue from January 4 to his confession on January 16. They did this through fragments of conversations and observations recalled by friends, neighbours and gardaí, and a number of early statements that the accused made to the gardaí.

O’Donoghue, aged 21, of Ballyedmond, Midleton, Co Cork, admits manslaughter but denies murder of the 11-year-old.
