A garda witness has told the jury that the deceased’s sister, Eucharia McDermott, alleged that Mr Hayes had been physically abusive to Amadea in the past. Ms Lumsden said the accused told her that Ms McDermott was on the floor with a puncture wound when he went back into the room to check on her. The witness said the accused told her that it had taken a little while to locate his phone but when he did he had called the ambulance.
Detective Sergeant Anthony Maloney told Mr Hourigan, prosecuting, that he received an email from the deceased’s sister Eucharia McDermott in November 2019, which included screenshots taken from Amadea’s phone of text messages between her and the accused. Ms Teelan agreed with counsel that when Amadea went in for her spray tan she got a shock because she saw an amount of bruises on her body.
