Farmer murdered 'love rival' to rekindle affair with his best friend's widow, court hears

A farmer murdered his "love rival", a DJ known as "Mr Moonlight", and hid his naked body in a slurry tank so he could rekindle an affair with his best friend's widow, a prosecution barrister has told a murder trial.

Michael Bowman SC opened the trial of Patrick Quirke by saying that the prosecution will use circumstantial evidence to prove the guilt of the accused.
