Statement from deceased garda Jones read at dangerous-driving trial

A dangerous-driving-causing-death trial has heard gardaí believed two friends of the accused had possibly “concocted” their stories because their statements were so similar.

The trial also heard a statement from Garda Ciaran Jones who was killed last week in flooding in Co Wicklow. Garda Jones was one of the first on the scene and described how he saw blood flowing down the road.
