Shock in court as man (22) admits murdering father at his home in Dublin
A 22-year-old man pleaded guilty at a Central Criminal Court pre-trial hearing yesterday to murdering a father of two in his north Co Dublin home nearly three years ago.
Owen Maughan of Dun Saithne Avenue, Balbriggan was charged with murdering Christopher Hall (65) at his home in Dun Saithne Green, Balbriggan, Co Dublin between November 23 and 24 2021, both dates inclusive.
The prosecution case was led by senior counsel Garret Baker, while Philipp Rahn SC headed up the defence team.
The pre-trial hearing, which commenced before Mr Justice Paul McDermott at the Central Criminal Court on Friday, was expected to last two-and-a half weeks.
