Witness denies being present at scene of alleged murder

The central witness and friend of a man on trial for murder has denied that he himself was present at the alleged murder scene, and that he fabricated a story for the Gardaí to get himself out of trouble.

In his second day of evidence at the Central Criminal Court, 23-year-old Daniel Mulholland said that Angelo O'Riordan confessed to him that he was out hijacking cars, when he knocked down a man in December 2006.
