‘I would say there was brain’, murder trial hears

A witness has told a Wicklow murder trial that he thought he saw brain when he checked on a man he had seen being beaten on the side of a road.

Paul Duffy was giving evidence to the Central Criminal Court yesterday in the trial of a Wicklow man charged with murdering his best friend with a rock.

Thomas O’Connor, aged 29, of Burnaby Court, Greystones, is charged with murdering John O’Brien, 22, who was from Burnaby Lawns in Greystones on June 4, 2010.
