The case is due before Mr Justice Tony Hunt at half 10 this morning. All going to plan, the prosecution, led by Ms Anne Marie Lawlor for the DPP, will outline its case against Jozef Puska.

Yesterday she said there would be multiple witnesses from the Tullamore area, along with garda witnesses from the midlands and Dublin areas.

The opening statements are not evidence in itself, but it does give both the prosecution and the defense their first chances to address the jury.
