Sergeant tells wrongful arrest case gardaí did 'very best with good intent'

A garda sergeant told the High Court officers did their "very best with good intent" for a woman who had been viciously beaten although, initially, they had not ruled out her fiancée as a person of interest in the investigation.

Sgt Theresa Phillips was the supervising officer during a call-out to a report of the attack on Martha Kowalczyk outside her Carlow apartment on December 2, 2012.
