Mahon accused daughter: I was 'brainwashed'

The youngest daughter of the Sligo man accused of murdering 14-year-old Melissa Mahon has told a jury that she gave a number of different accounts of the killing because she was brainwashed by the accused and was trying to protect him.

The 16 year-old, who cannot be named, was cross examined by defence counsel, Brendan Grehan SC, via video link on the 11th day of the Central Criminal Court trial.
