Jeweller conned Cork woman, 84

An 84-year-old Cork woman conned by a jeweller in the auction of a valuable Cartier brooch in Switzerland described yesterday how she had experienced sleepless nights and terrible shock at being duped.

The case against Michael Wall, 38, with an address at 2 Marionville, Alexandra Road, St Luke’s, Cork, was adjourned until June 13, 2018, at Cork Circuit Criminal Court for an update on a particular course, addressing issues in the defendant’s background.

Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin said he wanted Wall to continue with a supervised programme in the meantime.
