A farmer has gone on trial at the Central Criminal Court accused of murdering his 76-year-old aunt by driving over her in a tractor following a long-running dispute over land.
Opening the trial for the prosecution this afternoon, Dean Kelly SC told the jury that the prosecution case is that Christine 'Chrissie' Treacy was murdered in a crime of the "most terrible and dark sort" by her nephew Michael Scott.
Mr Scott (58) of Gortanumera, Portumna, Co Galway has pleaded not guilty to murder.
