Prosecution lays out its case

The case for the prosecution of Graham Dwyer for the murder of Elaine O’Hara opened with three men standing on a bridge.

It was on September 10, 2013, and the men had an interest in fishing. They were on the bridge over the Vartry reservoir in Wicklow when one of them noticed some items in the water, which was low, due to a very dry season.

The items included clothing, a length of rope and handcuffs. One of them brought the items to the local Garda station. Some days later, Garda James O’Donoghue returned to the reservoir where he found a set of keys, which included a Dunnes Stores loyalty card.
