Phone records not consistent with story

A TELECOMS expert has told the Central Criminal Court certain mobile phone records were not consistent with accounts Joe O’Reilly gave to gardaí about his movements on the day of his wife’s murder.

Oliver Farrell, an electronics engineer who acted as consultant for mobile phone operator 02, said such records gave a “different picture” about O’Reilly’s claims that he had been in Broadstone bus depot in Dublin’s north inner city between 9am and 11.30am on October 4, 2004.

O’Reilly has pleaded not guilty to murdering his wife Rachel at their family home on that date.
