Dublin murder trial collapses

The jury has been discharged in the trial of a Dublin man accused of murdering his best friend and neighbour in Blanchardstown over five years ago.

The murder trial of Aidan Finnegan was in its 11th day at the Central Criminal Court, when Mr Justice Garrett Sheehan told the jury that a legal matter had arisen, and he was "obliged under law to discharge them from the case."
