Emergency call played at Bandon murder trial

A murder trial jury yesterday heard a recording of a 999 call from a man who claimed to have seen a body being thrown over the balcony outside his building.

The garda officer asked the caller to clarify one of the names he had mentioned in this regard and he replied, “Catherine Connors”.

Catherine O’Connor of Bridge House, Sean Hales Place, Bandon, Co Cork, went into the second day of her trial at the Central Criminal Court sitting in Cork charged with the murder of Jonathan Duke, 27, at Bridge House on Nov 13 2011, a charge she denies.
