Legal argument continues at Limerick murder trial
The trial of a man accused of killing another man in Limerick two years ago has continued in legal argument today.
Kevin Coughlan (aged 29), of Avondale Drive, Greystones, Limerick has pleaded not guilty of murdering Francis Greene at Steamboat Quay on a date unknown between November 28 and November 29, 2009.
He has pleaded not guilty to the false imprisonment of Mr Greene between Lower Hartstonge Street and Steamboat Quay in Limerick on November 28, 2009.
Mr Coughlan also pleaded not guilty to assaulting Roy Finn and not guilty to the production of a knife during that alleged assault at Lower Hartstonge Street on November 28, 2009.
The court heard the 47-year-old’s body was found six weeks later on the bank of the River Shannon on farming land at Portrine, Co Clare on February 5, 2010.
The trial will resume tomorrow before a jury of 10 men and two women presided over by Mr Justice Patrick McCarthy.
