Man on remand for murder of wife

MURDER accused Joe O’Reilly was remanded on bail for a further period when he appeared at Cloverhill District Court yesterday morning.

The father-of-two, who is charged with the murder of his wife Rachel two years ago, is required to appear next at Swords District Court in three-and-a-half weeks.

The prosecution, represented by the Chief State Solicitor’s office, told the court that more time was needed to prepare the book of evidence, which an earlier court sitting had heard was due to have been served yesterday.
