Witness knew the Gardaí were 'up to something', assault trial hears

A Dublin Circuit Criminal Court jury has listened to an audio recording of a phone call to the mother of a young man accusing four gardaí of assault at their flat.

Mr Zachary Purcell told Mr Patrick McGrath BL, prosecuting (with Mr Tom O’Connell SC), that he rang Ms Fidelma Gaffney when her son didn’t pick up his mobile and recorded the audio from that call until the memory on his phone cut out.
