Motorist tells trial he did not see murder accused with a weapon as he drove him away

On Friday, the driver described how Tyler Jackson got into his car asked him to drive up the road

Tyler Jackson (pictured) is accused of murdering 24-year-old Conor Quinn at Bridge Street, Mallow, County Cork, on July 12, 2018.

A motorist told the Mallow murder trial on Friday that moments after the alleged stabbing, a man got into the front passenger seat of his car and asked him to drive up the road.

Another witness described seeing the accused man — Tyler (Tiggy) Jackson — getting into the sports model blue Ford Focus. The driver of that car, Mark McCarthy, testified: “I was actually stopped on the bridge. I saw a body run in front of the car and asked me to drive up the road. He said just drive up the road. I kind of panicked. I froze really. I just drove.”
