Footprints 'don't match', court told

An impression of a footprint found on the trousers of a woman who was raped and murdered in a Co Cork park in 2000 did not match any of the footwear recovered from the home of the man on trial for the attack.

At the Central Criminal Court today Mr Liam Fleury, a forensic scientist at the Department of Justice was giving evidence that he carried out tests on the portion of the right knee of a pair of dark blue trousers taken from Ms Rachel Kiely (aged 22).
