Legal argument in taxi driver murder trial

The jury in the trial of a man and woman accused of murdering a taxi driver who was killed in a frenzied knife attack last year in north Dublin was sent away today in order to allow legal argument in its absence.

Carlos Byrne (aged 22) and Lindsey Fahy (aged 25), both of Linnetsfield Square, Clonee, Co Meath, deny murdering 31 year-old Mark Smith at Fortlawn Avenue, Blanchardstown, on March 18, 2009.
