O’Hara ‘began having fantasies at the age of 12’

Psychiatrist: She gave no indication of suicidality

The Graham Dwyer trial has heard that Elaine O’Hara began having persistent, obsessional thoughts and fantasies at the age of 12. As an adult, she had allowed someone to inflict harm on her, but had asked this man to stop some years before Mr Dwyer, 42, is alleged to have murdered her.

The jury heard the evidence from the psychiatrist who treated her from 2007 until the day she went missing in August 2012 when, he said, she gave no indication of suicidality.
