Man changes plea 19 days into trial

A 23-year-old father-of-one has admitted killing a man, who was attacked with a machete before being dragged along the road by a car, following a three-week trial at the Central Criminal Court.

Angelo O'Riordan, of Point Road Bellurgan in Dundalk, had been on trial for the murder of Aidan Myers at Faughart, outside Dundalk town, in December 2006.
