Opening arguments in Martens trial due

Prosecutors in the high-profile US trial of Molly Martens and her father Thomas Martens over the murder of her Irish husband are expected to make their opening argument on Monday, now that the week-long jury selection process has come to a conclusion.

The Martens are both on trial for second-degree murder.

Limerick native Jason Corbett, aged 39, was found bludgeoned to death in the early hours of August 2, 2015, at the house he shared with his wife at 160 Panther Court in the Meadowlands, a golf-course community in Davidson County, North Carolina.
