Celine’s blood found inside sleeve of husband’s hoodie

A FORENSIC scientist has told the Eamonn Lillis murder trial that she found his wife’s blood inside the sleeve of a hoodie he said he was wearing when he found her unconscious, consistent with it being put on over an arm wet with her blood.

Forensic scientist Dr Hilary Clarke told the Central Criminal Court that Celine Cawley’s blood was in a horizontal pattern inside the sleeve.

The 52-year-old TV advert producer has pleaded not guilty to murdering Ms Cawley on December 15, 2008, at their home, Rowan Hill, Windgate Road, Howth.
