Jury to begin deliberations
The presiding trial judge, Mr Justice Patrick McCarthy, yesterday delivered a three-and-a-half hour charge to the jury, following over two weeks of evidence in the case of Daniel-Joseph and Jason Byrne, at the Central Criminal Court.
The brothers, aged 39 and 33, and both of Hammer Lane, Borness in Co Laois, have denied murdering Edward Dempsey, a neighbouring cattle farmer, on October 11, 2007.
