Cork woman appeals conviction for the murder of her brother over childhood home

The appeal centres around a search warrant

Helen Jones (pictured) was convicted in December 2021 by a unanimous jury verdict of the murder of her 52-year-old brother Paul Jones, at his home on Bandon Road in Cork on September 4, 2019.

A 56-year-old woman serving a life sentence for the murder of her brother following a "family dispute" over their childhood home has appealed her conviction arguing that a search warrant granted by a district court judge was not valid.

Helen Jones, last of Cahergal Avenue, Mayfield, Cork, was convicted in December 2021 by a unanimous jury verdict of the murder of her 52-year-old brother Paul Jones, at his home on Bandon Road in Cork on September 4, 2019. A co-accused in the case, her then partner Keith O’Hara, was also found guilty of the murder.
