Mahon told ‘remarkable’ number of lies, jury hears

A jury has been told that what David Mahon did in the aftermath of his stepson receiving a fatal stab wound was “straight out of the How to Get Away with Murder handbook”.

The prosecutor also said that, if it was a case of accident or suicide, David Mahon was the most unfortunate man in Ireland, who had given a good impression of someone who had committed murder.

Remy Farrell was giving his closing speech in the trial yesterday, where the Dubliner is charged with murdering his stepson, Dean Fitzpatrick, who was the brother of missing teenager Amy Fitzpatrick.
