Accused said he would kill murder victim, court hears
A Cork man accused of murder told detectives how he and his co-accused stormed a neighbour’s flat wearing pink and yellow rubber gloves and pillowcases and towels on their heads before she was murdered, a jury heard at the Central Criminal court today.
Detective Sergeant John Quilter was recalling his notes made during an interview with one of the accused, Mr Thomas Penkert (aged 20) on 18 July 2002, three days after the murder of Ms Nora Kiely (aged 46).
