Burglary victim, 86, has €2,500 returned to her
The victim of the crime had the money returned despite the fact that two men — both found with cash, and one with a watch belonging to her late husband 90 minutes after the crime — applied yesterday to have the seized cash returned to them.
John Casey, aged 37, of 3 Knocknaheeny Avenue, had €2,251 in cash. Eric Griffin, aged 53, who was living at Hegarty Square, off Blarney St, Cork, had €350 and the watch.
