Cameron Blair trial witness jailed for going to Ayia Napa when due to give evidence

The sentence hearing for Darragh O'Connor's co-accused, Craig O'Donoghue, did not take place today as he has tested positive for Covid-19

Cameron Blair died at Cork University Hospital (CUH) on January 16, 2020 after being stabbed in the neck while attending a student party at a house in Cork city.

A "blatant" contempt of court by a witness who travelled to Ayia Napa when he was due to give evidence in the trial of a teenager who committed violent disorder at the Cameron Blair murder scene has seen him jailed for two months.

Sentencing Darragh O'Connor at the Central Criminal Court today, Mr Justice David Keane said the contempt of court in this case was "blatant and premeditated" and its consequences could only be viewed as "serious" as it had "plainly disrupted" the conduct of a trial.
