Elaine’s father: Architect refused request to kill her

The father of murdered Elaine O’Hara has spoken of his shock when his daughter told him that the married Foxrock architect she was seeing had refused her request to kill her.

Ms O’Hara’s father was giving evidence to the Central Criminal Court on the second day of the trial of architect Graham Dwyer, aged 42, who is charged with murdering her.

The Cork-born father of two is charged with murdering Dubliner Ms O’Hara, aged 36, on August 22, 2012, hours after she was discharged from St Edmundsbury Hospital in Lucan, where she had been a psychiatric patient.
