Defence finishes summing up in Keane murder trial

A defence laywer acting for one of five Limerick men accused of murdering Kieran Keane told the jury today that there is no “external evidence” linking his client to Mr Keane or any of the key scenes.

Continuing his summing up in the Central Criminal Court on behalf of James McCarthy, John Edwards SC asked the jury to consider the possibility that the chief prosecution witness, Owen Treacy “may have been involved in what happened to Kieran Keane”.
