Witness accused of fabricating alleged confession by defendant
A senior Garda has told a murder trial that the main witness in the case, who told gardaí of an alleged “confession” the accused man made to him, may have been under the impression that he was suspected of involvement.
Defence lawyers for Angelo O'Riordan (aged 23), who denies murdering Aidan Myers in Dundalk nearly four years ago, say that the prosecution's main witness has fabricated this alleged “confession” to get himself out of difficulty.
