'Nothing like smell of dead body', witness claims murder accused said

A witness has told the Central Criminal Court that a Dublin man accused of the murder of Adel Essalhi said he had burned the deceased man’s body and told her there was “nothing like the smell of a dead body”.

Martina Deegan was giving evidence in the trial of Wayne Kinsella (aged 40), of The Plaza, Tyrrelstown, who has pleaded not guilty to the murder of Mr Essalhi (aged 31) in the fields behind the Plaza in Tyrrelstown, Blanchardstown, on January 6, 2011.
