Victim's daughter recalls 'wonderful' mother at murder trial

A 65-year-old woman shot to death in her bedroom had moved to sleep in that bedroom because “she thought she would be safer” there, her daughter told the trial of two Dublin men accused of her murder, at the Central Criminal Court today.

Conor Grogan, aged 26, of Avonbeg Park, Tallaght, Dublin, and Timothy Rattigan, aged 26, of St Dominick’s Terrace, Tallaght, Dublin, have pleaded not guilty to the murder of Mrs Joan Casey, aged 65, at Avonbeg Park on April 3, 2004.
