A witness has described to the Central Criminal Court the moment he found the dead body of a teenager while taking his dogs for a morning walk.
Mr Connolly has pleaded not guilty to the murder of Mr Reilly at Shamrock Hill, Dunleer on May 26, 2018. Catherine Shiels gave evidence that when her husband told her he had found a body, she initially thought he was mistaken, and it was just someone who had fallen asleep in the field. In response to cross examination from defence counsel, Michael Bowman SC, Ms Lynch confirmed that the “scuffs or scrape marks” on the deceased’s chin suggested there had been contact with a hard surface, and the marks were not something that would have been caused by clothing.
Ms McGuinness gave evidence that several people were drinking. She said she left around 12.10, and Mr Reilly gave her a hug and a kiss. She said she did not see Mr Reilly again after that. In response to a question from Mr Kelly, Mr Fitzgerald confirmed that some people were “smoking weed” in the field.
