Murder trial jury sees photos of deceased with tyre marks across her legs

The jury in the trial of a farmer accused of murdering his aunt in a land dispute has been shown a "distressing" photograph of the deceased lying on the ground with tractor tyre marks across her legs.

In one photograph Gda Doheny said the deceased can be seen lying on a concrete pavement with the tractor or teleporter that had been driven by the accused behind her.It is the prosecution case that Ms Treacy was run over deliberately by her nephew Michael Scott following a long-running dispute over land.

Det Sgt David Conway told Mr MacCarthy that he also took photographs at the scene including a photo of the clothing the deceased was wearing noting the tyre impressions on her trousers. Under cross examination, Det Sgt Conway agreed with defence counsel Mícheál P O'Higgins SC that one of the images was a "distressing photo" of the lower half of Ms Treacy's body. He further agreed that the windows of the tractor driven by the accused were "very dirty".

For a killing to be murder, she said a jury must be satisfied that the accused killed the deceased and that at the time they intended to kill or cause serious injury.
