Murder trial told how Richard Satchwell regrets not telling gardaí about wife’s death

Richard Satchwell has denied his wife’s murder at their home in Youghal, Co Cork.

A hand emerging from sandy soil beneath a stairwell in an East Cork home was the first sighting of the body of Tina Satchwell, who had vanished more than six years earlier.

Wearing a dressing gown over her pyjamas, a dressing gown belt around her body, she was found wrapped in a blanket and covered in black plastic sheeting.
