Man disappeared in field of cows, garda tells trial

Two men were arrested near the scene of an attempted aggravated burglary and an officer testified yesterday the last sighting he had of a third man was when he disappeared in a field of cows.

Det Garda Mark O’Shea did not identify the man he was chasing from the scene in Rougrane, Glanmire, Co Cork.

He told Cork Circuit Criminal Court: “I ran down to the end of the field. He ran towards the corner of the field. He was about 40m ahead of me. I kept in pursuit of him… He ran to the end of dirt track. He turned left towards a white watering trough. Inside in that field, there were cows. This is where I lost sight of the suspect in the field.
