Jury considers verdict over €32k Cork heroin seizure

A jury will consider its verdict today in the case against a Cork man on trial for having €32,000 worth of heroin near Mallow last February.

The accused told gardaí it was a dirty drug he disapproved of and had nothing to do with him and he had only gone to Limerick to get papers for his pet Chihuahua.

Daniel Wyse, who is in his 30s and from 35 Glenfields Park, Ballyvolane, Cork, denied charges of having heroin for sale or supply at Halfway, Crossroads, Rathduff, Co Cork, on February 15, when its street value exceeded €13,000.
