Cork murder trial adjourned for a day after 'a matter' arises

Helen Jones and Keith O’Hara are both charged with murdering Paul Jones on September 4, 2019, at 108 Bandon Road, Cork.

Helen Jones has pleaded not guilty to the charge of murdering her brother Paul Jones.

The Cork murder trial which was due to commence today has been adjourned until tomorrow.

Mr Justice Michael McGrath did not explain to the jury why the case was not commencing today except to say: “A matter has arisen, the trial will not commence until tomorrow morning. You are free to leave.” Just before that, one woman on the jury indicated a difficulty that she would have in attending for the four-week trial.
