Kerry farmer trial: My brother's good character 'shredded', court told

The manner in which the good character of a farmer, who was killed when a neighbour drove the prongs of a teleporter into him, was "shredded" during trial was "even more harrowing" than hearing the "grotesque details" of how his life ended, the victim's brother has said.

“Every story has two sides and there was only one side of the story told during this trial,” Seamus O'Mahony told the Central Criminal Court in a victim impact statement today, adding that his brother was not there to defend his “good name”.
