Jury hears how accused said 'just charge me with it' to gardaí

A man accused of murdering German tourist Bettina Poeschel allegedly told gardaí to "just charge me with it" during his interrogation at Drogheda garda station two years ago, a jury at the Central Criminal court heard today.

The jury heard that when detectives put it to Murphy that DNA tests identified him with the semen found on Poeschels body, he began "visibly shaking".
