Jury continues to deliberate in Galway murder trial

The jury in the Central Criminal Court trial of a Co Galway man accused of the rape and murder of a schoolgirl in 1998 is continuing its deliberations.

Two of the jurors have requested a further examination of two items of clothing belonging to the deceased, Siobhan Hynes.

Forensic tests revealed that fibres from these items matched fibres found on a white v-necked top which belonged to the accused.
