Man accused of lying over twins miscarriage to get bail

When two white coffins said to contain the embryos of twin brothers were searched by gardaí at a Kerry funeral home, no biological material was found in one.

The revelation was made at Limerick Circuit Court, when Darren O’Shea, aged 36, of Casement Avenue, Tralee, sought bail, claiming that, as father of twins miscarried by his partner, he should get bail to attend their funeral ceremony, set for October 7.

The State objected to bail, claiming there were no twins and that O’Shea was a flight risk.
