, a part-time DJ going by the name Mr Moonlight. Mr Ryan went missing on June 3rd 2011 after leaving his girlfriend Mary Lowry’s home at about 6.30am.
His body was found in an underground run-off tank on the farm owned by Ms Lowry and leased by the accused at Fawnagown, Tipperary 22 months later on April 30th 2013. The jury of six men and six women have been considering the evidence put before them during a 13-week trial which was followed by a week of closing speeches from barristers for the defence and prosecution. The prosecution claims that Mr Quirke murdered Mr Ryan so he could rekindle an affair with Ms Lowry . The defence says the prosecution has failed to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt and that Mr Quirke should be acquitted.
In her charge last week Ms Justice Creedon told the jury they must not be influenced by emotion, sympathy, anger or disgust, and they must treat circumstantial evidence against the accused with care.
