Closing speeches are being made in the trial of a man accused of murdering his friend in Co Wicklow last year. Thomas O’Connor (24), of Greystones, has pleaded not guilty to murdering John O’Brien in Delgany, on June 4th, 2010.
Denis Vaughan Buckley SC, prosecuting, told the jury the issue it had to decide was whether the attack was murder.
Michael O’Higgins SC, defending, said it was not murder if jurors thought the attack was provoked.
