Garda denies offering Geoghegan murder accused deal for guilty plea

The solicitor of the 26-year-old man on trial for Shane Geoghegan’s murder told detectives that he would admit to the killing if the mother of his sick child was released from custody.

The conversation emerged on day seven of the Central Criminal Court trial of Barry Doyle, who is charged with murdering the 28-year-old rugby player on November 9, 2008.
