Psychiatrists testify at McGahern murder trial

A jury hearing the trial of a man charged with murdering a Cavan woman has heard from psychiatrists who believe the accused suffers from a learning disability and aspects of anti-social personality disorder.

Dr Conor O’Neill, giving evidence for the defence of Brendan McGahern, told the Central Criminal Court that McGahern refused to answer questions about the night Amy Farrell was killed and refused to have the extent of his learning disability assessed.
