At the Court of Appeal today, Dwyer repeatedly interrupted Sean Guerin SC, for the DPP, to deny text messages attributed to him.

Murderer Graham Dwyer had to be spoken to by his legal team today after he repeatedly interrupted his appeal hearing and denied that he texted his victim Elaine O'Hara that he would "love to stab a girl to death sometime" and that "blood turns me on".

"I never wrote that," Dwyer again interrupted. On another occasion he interrupted Mr Guerin by simply saying "no" when counsel was speaking about text messages. "The appellant is over-stating, significantly, the use of the call data," said Mr Guerin, who said there was also the Garda process of investigating a suspect during an investigation to be considered.

Mr Guerin said one text from Ms O'Hara to the phone attributed to Dwyer read: "You're now a daddy again." At the trial, the child's birth-certificate matched the date of the text, which the DPP said proved it was Dwyer who was using the phone. Similar texts regarding buying a new bike, an email query to a tattoo parlour, entering a model plane flying competition, getting a wage reduction and a reception at the Polish embassy were also all corroborated by witnesses or documents at trial, said Mr Guerin.
