Lillis trial hears of violent row over taking out rubbish

EAMONN LILLIS told the woman he was seeing before his wife died that she banged her head during a row they had over his not taking out the rubbish, she told his murder trial.

Jean Treacy, 32, was giving evidence at The Central Criminal Court on the sixth day of Lillis’s trial for the alleged murder on December 15, 2008.

The 52-year-old TV advert producer has pleaded not guilty to murdering Celine Cawley at their home, Rowan Hill, Windgate Road, Howth while their daughter was at school. The 46-year-old died of head injuries after Lillis said he found an intruder attacking her on their patio. He last week admitted there was no intruder.
