Double murder trial enters legal argument

The trial of a 25-year-old man for the double murder of a student couple in Dublin two years ago has entered what is expected to be a week of legal argument.

In the Central Criminal Court, Mr Yu Jie (aged 25), with a last address at McKee Avenue, Finglas, Dublin, has pleaded not guilty to the murder of Ms Liu Qing (aged 19) in an apartment at Blackhall Square, off North King St., Dublin 7, between 6pm on March 12, 2001 and 3am on March 14, 2001.
