Car driven into sea ‘used as instrument of murder’ by accused

A Central Criminal Court jury has been told that a car driven into the sea in 2013 was used “as an instrument of murder”.

The prosecutor was giving his closing speech yesterday in the trial of a woman accused of murdering a colleague by driving him into a harbour, where he drowned.

Marta Herda, aged 29, of Emoclew Rd, Arklow, Co Wicklow, is charged with the murder of Csaba Orsos, 31, on March 26, 2013.
