Apartment block resident asked if she had a ‘saw’ by man accused of murder

A resident of an apartment block close to where a man’s body was found in a ditch was asked for a saw by a man she met in the complex, a jury has heard. 

Michael Kinsella, aged 22, with addresses at Swiftbrook Close, Tallaght, and Ardkeen, Co Cavan, has pleaded not guilty at the Central Criminal Court to murdering Adil Essalhi, aged 29 at Tyrellstown, Dublin on January 6, 2011.

His uncle Wayne Kinsella was convicted of the killing in 2012. Prosecution counsel yesterday called Gintare Tamulynuite who lived in an apartment at The Plaza in Tyrellstown, Dublin 15, in January 2011.
