Satchwell’s story has ‘more holes than block of Swiss cheese’, murder trial told
- Richard Satchwell of Grattan Street, Youghal, stands trial at Dublin's Central Criminal Court accused of murdering his wife Tina between March 19 and 20, 2017.
- The accusation follows Tina being reported missing six years prior and her remains being found buried under the stairs of their Co Cork home in October 2023.
- The prosecution described Satchwell's account of events as implausible and deceitful, highlighting inconsistencies and a fabricated narrative surrounding the death and disappearance.
- Gerardine Small SC called Satchwell 'shamelessly brazen' and said his story has 'more holes than a block of Swiss cheese', while defence barrister Brendan Grehan stated there is no evidence he struck his wife.
- The jury must decide if the prosecution proved murder beyond reasonable doubt, considering Satchwell's actions, omissions, and the web of deceit woven after Tina's death.
