Where two or more people set out on a criminal enterprise, Mr Condon told the jury each one is responsible in law for the actions of the other. Counsel described Sliabh Liag as “some of the most magnificent cliffs in Europe”, three times higher than the Cliffs of Moher. After leaving the Roshine area, Mr Condon said the car was seen on CCTV at 2.20am passing the ranger’s hut at Sliabh Liag and travelling towards the top of the cliffs. After about 38 minutes, the car came back down at which point the prosecution alleges Mr Wilkin had been put over the cliff.
That night, Ms Burns went to a friend’s house where she made admissions to assaulting and disposing of Mr Wilkin’s body, counsel said. Ms Burns was arrested the following morning and Mr Vial was arrested a short time later.
