Thursday, April 17, 2008
The jury in the trial of John O'Brien, who is accused of murdering his wife Meg Walsh in Waterford, has been shown CCTV footage showing her car arriving at a local car park the day after she went missing.
Her Mitsubishi Carisma can be seen coming in from the left just after 10pm on October 2nd and stopping at the back of the Uluru car park in Waterford city.
The lights go off, a person who cannot be identified from the footage gets out of the driver's side and goes to the back of the car.
The indicator lights flash for three seconds and then ten.
The court has heard that the car did not move until it was discovered by Gardai after 1am on October 4th.
It is the State's case that whoever killed 35-year-old Meg Walsh was driving that car and subsequently disposed of the body.
Forty-one-year-old John O'Brien, of Ballinakill Downs, Waterford city, denies murdering the mother-of-one between October 1st and 15th, 2006.
