Love triangle trial: Mary Lowry's evidence was 'devious poison', defence tells court

Mary Lowry's evidence against Patrick Quirke was "a piece of the most devious poison that has been delivered across the face of the Central Criminal Court for many a year," defence lawyers have told the jury in the love triangle murder trial.

On day two of the defence closing speech Bernard Condon SC said Ms Lowry was manipulative, told lies and put a spin on her evidence as he detailed what he told the six men and six women is evidence of her attempts to "rewrite history".
