‘Architect refused Elaine’s request to kill her’

The Graham Dwyer murder trial has heard that his alleged victim told her father the married Foxrock architect she was seeing had refused her request to kill her.

Elaine O’Hara’s father was giving evidence to the Central Criminal Court yesterday (Friday) on the second day of the trial of the 42-year-old charged with murdering her.

Mr Dwyer, a Cork-born father of two, is charged with murdering the 36-year-old Dubliner on August 22, 2012 — hours after she was discharged from St Edmundsbury Hospital in Lucan, where she had been a psychiatric patient.
