Court clears vet who gave wrong ashes to dog’s owner
Con Twomey, aged 68, from Coachford, Co Cork, had denied the charge that he dishonestly by deception induced Noreen O’Mahony into paying him €200 for cremating her dog, Emily, with the intention of making a gain for himself and causing her a loss, between January 31 and February 24 last year.
At Macroom District Court this week, Judge James McNulty said Mr Twomey had admitted in a statement to gardaí that he made a mistake by not labelling the dog’s remains.
