Jury hears of O'Reilly's 'unhappy marriage'

The marriage of Joe and Rachel O'Reilly was not a happy one, a jury in the Central Criminal Court heard today.

Jacqueline O'Connor, a nurse, who had been a close friend of the deceased since they were in secondary school, told prosecuting counsel, Mr Denis Vaughan Buckley SC, that Mrs O'Reilly would often confide in her.
