Murder victim was partly burned, cold case murder trial hears

A woman detained in 1993 on suspicion of her husband’s murder told a garda she liked that she didn’t know if she could trust the detectives interviewing her but that she was ready to tell her story.

Garda Rita Gilmartin, who was acting as the prisoner’s chaperone in Mullingar Garda Station, was giving evidence in the cold-case murder trial at the Central Criminal Court.
