“Controlling and odd,” is how Tina Satchwell’s half-sister described murder-accused Richard Satchwell.

Lorraine Howard told the Central Criminal Court that Mr Satchwell referred to Mrs Satchwell as his “trophy wife” and wanted to know where she was “all the time”. Mrs Satchwell’s skeletal remains were found buried beneath the stairs in the sitting room of her Youghal home on October 11, 2023, more than six years after she went missing.
