Murder accused ‘would and should’ have seen aunt when reversing machine, court told

Michael Scott , of Gortanumera, Portumna, Co Galway, has pleaded not guilty to murdering Ms Treacy outside her home in Derryhiney, Portumna on April 27th, 2018. The prosecution case is that Mr Scott deliberately ran over Ms Treacy following a long-running dispute over land. Mr Scott’s lawyers have said her death was a tragic accident.

The witness knew that Mr Scott had said he was most likely driving in second gear. Testing showed that the maximum speed in second gear was 8 km/h. The distance from the shed where Mr Scott said the teleporter had been parked to where Ms Treacy’s body was found was about 24m, so he would have been driving for about 10 seconds prior to the collision, the witness said.

The most likely point of impact with the teleporter was at the rear left wheel where bodily fluid and tissue were found, the garda said.
