Updated 1.16pm
A JURY HAS been sworn in at the trial of architect Graham Dwyer for the murder of Dublin woman Elaine O’Hara.
Dwyer, 42, who has an address in Foxrock, stands accused of the murder of Elaine O’Hara, a 36-year-old Killiney woman who died on 22 August 2012. He pleaded not guilty today.
O’Hara remained on the missing person’s list until September 2013 when a woman out walking her dog made the grim discovery at Kilakee in the Dublin mountains.
She was laid to rest in a private ceremony last March. She is survived by her father, sister and brothers.
In an unusual move, the jury members were warned about the case.
Mr Justice Carney told them: “This case will be difficult, particularly for anybody who is squeamish”.
He asked for anyone who was particularly squeamish to let him know.
The trial is expected to last six weeks.
