Jury convicts Patricia O’Connor’s granddaughter of impeding prosecution of her murderer

A Central Criminal Court jury has convicted a 22-year-old woman of disguising herself as her dead grandmother, who had been bludgeoned to death by her mother's partner, in order to conceal her murder.

Father-of-three Kieran Greene (aged 35) was yesterday found guilty of murdering retired hospital worker Patricia O'Connor (aged 61) and inflicting "catastrophic injuries" on her in a sustained attack, which lasted up to 20 minutes and took place in the bathroom of her Rathfarnham home.
