Adrian Donohoe accused said he'd 'murdered a cop in Ireland', witness tells trial

A witness testified at the Central Criminal Court that Aaron Brady, the man accused of murdering Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe, admitted to killing someone and stated he carried "the guilt of having murdered a cop in Ireland". Molly Staunton, giving evidence via video link from New York, told the court that in July 2016 Brady lived in an apartment there with her then boyfriend and another man. She recalled an evening when Brady emerged from his bedroom appearing distressed and intoxicated, claiming he had shot a police officer in Ireland and feared gardaí would come to the apartment. Brady, aged 28, from Crossmaglen, Co Armagh, has pleaded not guilty to the capital murder of Detective Garda Donohoe on 25 January 2013 at Lordship Credit Union, Bellurgan, Co Louth, and to robbing approximately €7,000 in cash and cheques at the same location. The trial, before Mr Justice Michael White and a jury, continues.
